For many, the death of [major character] was real in this past Sunday’s Breaking Bad finale.
A group of fans in Albuquerque, New Mexico felt that the death of Walter White in the Breaking Bad season five finale was so significant that he deserved his own obituary.
They ponied up the money to place the obituary in the Albuquerque Journal. It appeared on page A4 of today’s newspaper. Albuquerque is the hometown of Walter White. The show shot all five seasons on location.
“I’ve been a humongous ‘Breaking Bad’ fan since the beginning,” said David Layman, the New Mexico high school science teacher who organized the project. “I was actually in the pilot, and putting the obit in the paper was fitting, because the series was based in Albuquerque and it provides some of us some closure.”
Check it out below:
“White, Walter aka ‘Heisenberg,’ 52, of Albuquerque, died Sunday after a long battle with lung cancer and a gunshot wound,” reads the obituary. “A co-founder of Gray Matter, White was a research chemist who taught high school chemistry, and later founded a meth manufacturing empire. He is survived by his wife, Skyler Lambert; son Walter “Flynn” Jr.; and daughter Holly. A private memorial was held by his family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a drug abuse prevention charity of your choice. He will be greatly missed.”
The obituary makes us wonder exactly how Skyler and the family would have mourned his passing. No matter their feelings towards him by the end, it would have been difficult to cope with the death of their husband and father.
You can watch the final scene of Breaking Bad in our previous story in which you see Walter White pass away.
