DON'T speak ill of the dead — unless you’re this Texas family.

After Leslie Ray Charping died at 75, his family wrote an obituary eulogising their “evil” late relative, in which they slam his parenting, behaviour and say it is a relief he is no longer with them.

In fact, the group declare they aren't even having a funeral for him.

The obituary was posted on the Carnes Funeral Home site and read: "Leslie's hobbies included being abusive to his family, expediting trips to heaven for the beloved family pets, and fishing, which he was less skilled with than the previously mentioned.

"Leslie's life served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to society or serve his community and he possessed no redeeming qualities besides quick [witted] sarcasm, which was amusing during his sober days."

According to the piece, Leslie's death came “29 years longer than expected and much longer than he deserved".

“At a young age, Leslie quickly became a model example of bad parenting combined with mental illness and a complete commitment to drinking, drugs, womanising and being generally offensive,” it continued.

At the end the family state there will be no service held for the late man.

They also suggest some things he will be remembered for, adding: "With Leslie's passing he will be missed only for what he never did; being a loving husband, father and good friend.

"No services will be held, there will be no prayers for eternal peace and no apologises to the family he tortured.

"Leslie's passing proves that evil does in fact die and hopefully marks a time of healing and safety for all."

Earlier this week it was revealed that funeral directors have clamped down on people taking SELFIES with their dead relatives.
