This man died. That is all.

A North Dakota man's self-penned, two-word obituary was published in his local newspaper.

85-year-old Douglas Legler's death notice in the Fargo-Moorhead consisted of just two words: 'Doug Died'.

Legler's daughter, Janet Stoll justified the short obituary by saying, "He said over and over, when I die I want my obituary to just say 'Doug Died.'"

Stoll described her dad as lighthearted with a good sense of humour.

Do you think Legler's family should have ignored his request and written a longer, more respectable piece?

What would you do if someone close to you requested a plain and simple obituary with no frills?
