Read hilarious obituary friends and family dedicate to man who died of cancer

Friends and family of a vivacious 24-year-old who died after a two-year battle with cancer dedicate hilarious obituary to him.

Family and friends of Dennis Saycocie have chosen to deal with their loss using humor, penning an obituary they say is fitting for a man who was nothing if not one-of-a-kind.

The tech worker from Holland died on February 21 after a battle with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, which he was diagnosed with in 2014.

Part of the obituary, written by good friend and coworker Russ Roozeboom, read: 'Whatever the circumstances, Dennis managed to stay the same sarcastic jerk everyone knew and loved.'

Another part reads: 'Some people have a way of knowing the perfect, most encouraging things to say. Dennis was not one of those people, and his willingness to share his thoughts wasn't always immediately appreciated.'

Roozeboom told Michigan Live:  'We wanted something funny and we didn't want people to forget what a great guy he was.

Friends and family also promise to arrange a Christmas-themed party that Saycocie requested.

'He wanted us to celebrate,' his girlfriend told M Live.

'He really wanted us to have fun.'
