'Redneck son of a b***h': Woman roasts dad with hilarious and heartbreaking obituary
ALTON, ILLINOIS: A woman went viral after penning a harsh yet loving obituary for her sepsis victim father, who she described as a "hard as nails redneck son of a b***h" who "couldn't stay married." Daughter Halliea Milner wrote a moving tribute by joking that her father Kenne Pluhar, 62, had three true loves in life- drinking, fishing, and hunting.
On March 2, on Pluhar's birthday and the day he died, his family wrote a touching obituary that represented who he was to those who loved him and made many people on the internet laugh. It took Illinois native Milner, from Alton, about 45 minutes to write the straightforward yet heartfelt tribute to her father. One of the humorous allusions was to his five failed marriages. She also said that her father did nothing except drink, smoke, and listen to music despite being wickedly smart and intelligent.

As per the Daily Mail, the obit started with, "Kenne died in ICU at St Anthony’s after losing a battle with sepsis – at the age of 62, after 50 years of crap – starting with everyone and everything he could find to fight in Alton, IL, this hard as nails, redneck, SOB finally found something meaner and more stubborn than himself. Like any good card-carrying, Ray Ban wearing, camo coverall lovin’ redneck, Kenne had 3 true loves: hunting, fishing, and drinking. He liked “both kinds of music – country AND western”.
"Like every sad cowboy song, he couldn’t stay married, but that didn’t keep him from trying. Again. And again. He had a total of 4 legal marriages (and divorces) and one common law marriage under his belt – that we know of. His first marriage, to Tara (Gomez) Berry, produced his one and only child (again, that we know of), Halliea Milner, of whom he was extremely proud, mostly because she is almost as big of a pain in the a** as he was, and she kept the pain-in-the-a** line going by giving him his only grandchild, Sidnee Milner."
It continued, 'He was preceded in death by his mother, Connie Mckinnon Donnelson, who, til the day he died, he called “his mommy” – proof positive that even the biggest (jerks) have a soft side, you just may have to dig deeper to find it. His father, Kenneth Joseph Pluhar Sr, is still around, though, and was sure to teach Kenne the best ways to be emotionally unavailable and yet overly sensitive, all rolled into one. It’s a strong family trait passed down generation to generation."
The obit even mentioned, "He is also survived by a plethora of nieces and nephews that he terrorized and traumatized in countless and original manners - truly, it was survivorship when it came to Uncle Kenne." After the obit went viral on social media, Milner said, "The majority of the people understood that it came from a real place of love. He was a magnetic person. I loved him dearly. My world is not the same without him."
