This SPIDER-MAN-Inspired Obituary Will Put A Smile On Your Face

On November 25, Aaron Joseph Purmort, 35, sadly lossed his battle with cancer, which he had been diagnosed with in 2011. But before he passed away he sat down with his wife Nora and wrote an obituary that was inspired by Spider-Man. It was published in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Sunday, and has quickly spread throughout the internet because of its blend of humor and heart. In addition to his wife; he leaves behind a one year old son , Ralph.



Purmort, Aaron Joseph age 35, died peacefully at home on November 25 after complications from a radioactive spider bite that led to years of crime-fighting and a years long battle with a nefarious criminal named Cancer, who has plagued our society for far too long. Civilians will recognize him best as Spider-Man, and thank him for his many years of service protecting our city. His family knew him only as a kind and mild-mannered Art Director, a designer of websites and t-shirts, and concert posters who always had the right cardigan and the right thing to say (even if it was wildly inappropriate). Aaron was known for his long, entertaining stories, which he loved to repeat often. In high school, he was in the band The Asparagus Children, which reached critical acclaim in the northern suburbs. As an adult, he graduated from the College of Visual Arts (which also died an untimely death recently) and worked in several agencies around Minneapolis, settling in as an Interactive Associate Creative Director at Colle + McVoy. Aaron was a comic book aficionado, a pop-culture encyclopedia and always the most fun person at any party. He is survived by his parents Bill and Kim Kuhlmeyer, father Mark Purmort (Patricia, Autumn, Aly), sisters Erika and Nicole, first wife Gwen Stefani, current wife Nora and their son Ralph, who will grow up to avenge his father’s untimely death.





Aaron's wife Nora wrote on her blog "I've never laughed and cried more in one sitting, but I’m so glad we got to do this." And so are we.



Aaron was the type of person that had no interest in feeling sorry for himself. "What sets Aaron apart is not just the obituary but literally the entire way he lived his life. He had this unbridled joy about him," Nora told the Daily Mail.



When Aaron's son Ralph, who will turn 2 in January, asked his mother 'Where's Papa?' she delivered this beautiful reply.

'I said 'He's in your heart now, and he's in my heart. You won't see him with your eyes any more put you can feel him here.



He just kept patting his heart and said 'OK!''
