Woman uses husband's obituary to slam Donald Trump and anti-maskers

A woman whose husband passed away last month from Covid-19 has channeled her anger into a short obituary, where she slammed President Donald Trump for his death, as well as the governor of Texas, and "the many ignorant, self-centered and selfish people" who refuse to wear a mask.

"Dave did everything he was supposed to do, but you did not," Stacey Nagy wrote in the six-paragraph tribute to her 79-year-old husband, who died on July 22. "Shame on all of you, and may Karma find you all!"

"We were married for 20 years and now I'm not with him," the 72-year-old continued. "It's just been devastating for me. It pisses me off because he didn't need to die. Had people been following the recommendations, things would have been different. But people don't."

"Family members believe David's death was needless. They blame his death and the deaths of all other innocent people, on Trump, Abbott and all of the other politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with their popularity and votes than lives.

"Also to blame are the many ignorant, self-centered and selfish people who refused to follow the advice of the medical professionals, believing their 'right' not to wear a mask was more important than killing innocent people."

Speaking to Buzzfeed News, Stacey revealed that David had a list of medical conditions that increased his risk of becoming severely ill from the coronavirus, including diabetes, heart problems, and early signs of dementia.

And while they took every precaution to stay safe, David suffered a fall in late March that forced him to be hospitalized and go into a nursing home to recover.

"He stayed there and I would go and visit, and just go to the window and we'd yell back and forth at each other to talk," she said, detailing that the nursing home quickly went under lockdown. "We'd kiss the glass to give kisses to each other."

In early July, David became sick and was taken to a local hospital, where he tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

He passed away on July 22nd.

"I was pissed," Stacey told the publication. "I was super pissed because it didn't have to happen and every time I think about it I get angry and cry. People running around not wearing masks when they should, people making masks a political thing when it isn't. It's life and death. It's not political. It's about people."

Speaking about the obituary going viral, Stacey said: "I didn't do it to make people like it. I did it because I was pissed off and I wanted people to know the ones that refuse to wear a mask, that they are the killers and they are to blame, not just for Dave's stuff but for all these people. He's not the only husband to die. There's been thousands of other husbands and wives and fathers and mothers and brothers that have died."

"If he saw the responses we're getting for the obituary and my fighting for him, I think he would be pretty proud of me, I really do," she added. "I think he's smiling right now because I'm fighting for him and all the other 'hims.'"
