The cigarette between his fingers was also a nice touch.
According to the Daily Mail, the family of a 26-year-old Puerto Rican man who was shot 15 times in a San Juan neighborhood last week decided to bypass a conventional funeral and prop him up in a chair with his eyes open instead.
Jesus Diaz Beato’s family said he was a “happy and very active” person, so they decided to celebrate his life and untimely passing in the same manner. That meant decking him out in a sweet polo jersey, short khaki-colored pants and some fresh kicks, then propping him up in a chair while he held a cigarette in his right hand.
They then went the extra mile by keeping his eyes open as a “surprise.”
