The spouse of the Ohio male who passed away of coronavirus after dismissing it as a “political plot” pushing “bulls t lockdowns” has actually mentioned her heartbreak that he never ever lived long enough to alter his mind.
” Words do not begin to describe all the feelings we, John W. McDaniel’s family, are experiencing today,” Lisa McDaniel composed in an open letter to the Marion funeral home holding her 60- year-old husband’s service.
The grieving wife conceded that her spouse’s “unforeseen and untimely loss” was more intensified by the “early assumptions that he stated on Twitter and Facebook.”
” This news has actually opened the flood gates for people to share their own misdirected anger and unproven assumptions about a guy they don’t understand,” she wrote.
She was particular that had he lived, he would have disavowed his earlier remarks, in which he also blamed “paranoid” people for the lockdowns that keep everyone else “from living our lives.”
” Many, like John, made statements early on not completely aware of the seriousness of COVID-19,” his wife said. “As every day passes, all of us are finding out more about this ‘invisible enemy,'” she said.
” We know if John was still here with us he would acknowledge the nationwide crisis we are in, comply with the stay-at-home order, and encourage friends and family to do the exact same,” she insisted.
” However sadly he is not with us and we will permanently have to live and handle how his life ended far too soon.”
Her note exposed they were independently recording his funeral, rather than livestreaming it as initially planned, to help protect her partner’s “legacy” after the unanticipated attention.
” We are overwhelmed with sorrow for the loss of our precious spouse, daddy, soon to be father-in-law, child, brother, uncle, and dear buddy to lots of,” she wrote.
