A Missouri man was so heartbroken and disappointed over the Kansas City Chiefs' poor performance.... it killed him

Well, not really... but Sam Lickteig was such a big Chiefs fan... his daughters couldn't resist including a little humor in their dad's obituary on Sunday.

It read: Loren G. 'Sam' Lickteig passed away on Nov. 14, 2012 of complications from MS (multiple sclerosis)  and heartbreaking disappointment caused by the Kansas City Chiefs."

Daughter Diana Hennessey says her dad was a real comedian, so she and her two sisters wanted him to have the last word when they wrote his obituary. 

“If we weren't laughing, we'd be crying. And my dad was a huge Chiefs fan and he loved his Chiefs and he also had a very, very, quick sense of humor,” Hennessey said.

The obituary was published on the same day many Chiefs fans donned black at Arrowhead Stadium for the Cincinnati Bengals game in protest of the season and General Manager Scott Pioli.
