If I were a betting man I'd say

0:10
had brothers yourself , you understand

1:21
house . Well , tell me what happened then . He's
1:23
a selfish little prick . There is no
1:25
place for him in this family anymore .
1:40
Know what ? Your brother is standing there at the edge of the driveway
1:42

was a fleshy patch of selfishness . What

Their daddy's funeral is just around the corner
2:59
and in the moment , death seems to
3:01
remind you of your life . It
3:03
ain't that bad .
3:08
Something tells me they'll be just fine .
3:10
Wow , I didn't expect
3:12
such a turnout ? I did . My dad was a social whore .
3:14
Really .
3:16
Oh yeah , his buddies were our babysitters
3:18
, uncles , big brothers . The
3:23
man knew everybody in town
3:26
, so you think he'll show ?
3:28
Who .
3:28
Isaac , you thick fuck . Think he'll be
3:30
here I bet you the baby's
3:33
name .
3:33
He doesn't show up .
3:35
Oh really .
3:37
You really have faith in that walnut ? He
3:39
has the morals of a kid on TikTok . He
3:41
probably films himself giving food to
3:43
homeless people . Oh look how good
3:45
I am . Somebody pat me on the back
3:47
.
3:48
Whatever , I'm holding you to that bet .

5:16
You couldn't afford the child support . You degenerate
5:19
. Quiet
5:21
down , Quiet down everyone .
5:24
We'll begin once everyone finds their seats
5:27
.
5:27
Isaac started this whole fucking thing , by the
5:29
way , shh .
5:30
I don't care , just
5:32
let it
5:40
go .
5:40
Thank you all for coming . Everyone , we
5:43
are gathered here today not to mourn
5:45
the death , but to celebrate the life
5:47
of Thomas Peterson . God
5:50
has taken him at a time of his life
5:52
that was unexpected for all of us . We
5:55
will miss Thomas , but our burden
5:57
is not as heavy as his two boys
5:59
, noah and Isaac , who
6:06
are here today to bury their father . Just
6:09
five years ago , they were burdened with the
6:11
tragedy of burying their mother , sharon . Noah
6:15
, isaac , we are all here for you . Your
6:19
family has been a pillar in this community and you too are our family as well . Just know that
6:21
Thomas and Sharon will be joined again , leaving
6:27
their eternal love here for eternal life in heaven . I have been asked
6:29
for the eulogy to be given by his son , isaac
6:31
Peterson . I
6:36
cannot think of a better person to give a proper speech .
6:43
Isaac , if you please . You
6:48
know I thought about giving the stereotypical speech about life
6:50
lessons experiences . We had funny anecdotes . What have you ? Nobody wants to
6:52
hear that . That's every funeral . Seems
6:55
like everybody else has that under control . I'm pretty sure
6:57
I saw Dad's frat buddies in the back doing beer bongs
6:59
when I walked in . So there's that Having a good
7:02
time , bill .
7:05
Hell yes .
7:08
Yeah , there you go . There's your shout-out
7:10
. I
7:14
was trying to figure out what to say here tonight while
7:16
being in a drunken stupor . You
7:18
know it's the Peterson way , I suppose , but
7:21
it really didn't work out the way I hoped . I
7:23
ended up with a broken nose , bruise
7:25
on my face and a pissed off brother
7:27
. What I have found out about trying
7:29
to write a eulogy for
7:32
your own father is that we
7:34
remember a great man not in times of darkness
7:36
, but we remember him in the light . He
7:39
was the epitome of a father teaching
7:42
Noah and I a multitude of lessons . Thomas
7:45
Peterson lived his life not only how he
7:47
saw fit , but how he wanted
7:49
others to live . A
7:53
gloating man is a man
7:55
who has a minuscule portion of what life is
7:57
about . The man who has nothing
7:59
is a man who finds everything in
8:02
something . Fear will never overpower
8:04
, but merely be motivation
8:07
to stay one step ahead , ensuring the
8:09
feeling having everything truly
8:11
feels like everything . A man
8:13
who has everything has no fear in
8:16
letting go . My
8:18
father motivated us to be the same Live
8:23
in the moment , but learn through your mistakes
8:25
to find a way to keep the moment alive . Our
8:28
father was a wise man . He was a
8:30
great husband to our mother and an even
8:32
better father . One can
8:34
only hope people had a life as rich as ours . He
8:38
gave us everything . He may not
8:40
have given us the material possessions that kid desires
8:42
, but he gave us strength , discipline
8:45
, courage . He gave us everything
8:47
we needed and
8:49
we gather to thank you , dad . Our hearts
8:51
will always be filled with the love
8:54
you showed everyone in this room . I
8:56
hope you and Mom are happy and I wish you the best . I'll
9:00
be thinking of you , thank
9:02
you .
9:07
Thank you , Isaac . I
9:10
will now read from 1 Thessalonians 4
9:12
, 14 through 17 . Man Isaac did
9:14
good , For since we believe that Jesus
9:16
died and rose again .
9:18
Yeah , he actually did .
9:20
God will bring him those who have fallen
9:22
asleep . For this we
9:24
declare to you , by the word from our Lord , the
9:28
power
9:42
of God , you okay bud .
9:44
Yeah , I'm good . I'm just letting everyone
9:46
enjoy themselves . You
9:48
can join . Nah , I'm alright . I
9:50
still need a bit . Besides
9:52
, everyone would just do the . I'm so sorry for your loss . Bullshit , I'm
9:54

13:33
You two are something else . I heard
13:35
about the fights .
13:36
Noah made himself out .
13:39
As usual , he's got a knack
13:41
for that .
13:43
So how are things , or whatever . I'm
13:46
not good at small talk at the moment .
13:48
Isaac Peterson being short for words
13:50
now , this is a first .
13:52
Yeah , I know my brain's all scrambled
13:55
and I'm pretty sure I left my backpack in Noah's
13:57
truck , so that has me a bit disheveled at the moment
13:59
.
13:59
Well , you are a pretty forgetful person
14:02
.
14:02
Not usually .
14:04
You forgot to bring your girlfriend with you to Colorado
14:07
.
14:08
Ew Ouch Too soon
14:10
. Can I say too soon there ?
14:12
Since it was five years ago , I'd say
14:14
no , I just chose the wrong time to bring
14:16
it up , though .
14:17
Eh , go ahead . I fucked up and deserve everything you
14:19
