Coronavirus News: Wife Blames Trump, Texas Governor For Husband's Death In Obituary That Goes Viral

The wife of a man who died from COVID-19 wrote an obituary that offered strong words for President Donald Trump, Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, and those that chose not to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic, which she said caused her husband’s death. The obituary has gone viral on social media.

In the obituary, Stacey Nagy called out Trump and Abbott, saying they did not take the pandemic seriously. The obituary was published Sunday in the Jefferson Jimplecute, a local newspaper in the small Texas town of Jefferson, which has a population of roughly 2,000 and is located near the borders of Arkansas and Louisiana and about 165 miles east of Dallas.

Nagy wrote that the death of her 79-year-old husband David Nagy was “needless” and claimed that Trump, Abbott, and other politicians were more concerned about their “popularity and votes than lives.”

"Dave did everything he was supposed to do, but you did not," Stacey wrote in the obituary. "Shame on all of you, and may Karma find you all!"

David died in an intensive care unit at Christus Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, Texas, on July 22.

"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,” the obituary read.

Stacey told BuzzFeed News that Dave had diabetes, heart problems, and early signs of dementia. He had reportedly fallen in late-March and was hospitalized, where he was then placed in a nursing home to recover until he fell ill in July.
