May the force be with 58-year-old Gordon Deacon, even in death.

The Welshman, who died last month from cancer, was ushered to the dark side with the help of four Stormtroopers at his Star Wars-themed funeral Wednesday.

Deacon’s wife Marilyntold the Telegraph, "He was mad on Star Wars. We went to see the first film in 1977 and ever since then he was fixated with it."

The Stormtroopers led a horse-drawn carriage carrying Deacon’s coffin to the Cardiff church, where mourners were asked to wear Star Wars costumes.

"My husband didn't want people to wear black, his wish was to have a different funeral,” the Telegraph quotes Marilyn Deacon as saying.

He got his wish. Those who didn’t wear Star Wars-related apparel dressed in red in honour of Deacon’s other obsession: the Liverpool Football Club.

While one attendee wore a shirt saying “May the force be with you,” another wore the jersey of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, according to Wales News.

Deacon’s grandchildren also sang the football club’s anthem: You’ll Never Walk Alone.
