Shannon Leonard Churchill left the world with a single regret: not knowing how Coronation Street will end.

The 44-year-old East Coast man makes the quirky claim in an obituary he wrote for himself before dying from cancer B次元官网网址減eacefully at homeB次元官网网址 on Jan. 31.

B次元官网网址淪tuff has been trying to kill me for years and it was colon cancer that finally got me,B次元官网网址 he wrote.

In his mostly light-hearted tribute, Churchill said his life was always about the things he was able to do, rather than what he had accumulated and that he had few regrets other than wanting to know how the long-running British soap opera concludes.

B次元官网网址淚 had a great life with too few regrets to even be sure they really existed,B次元官网网址 he wrote in the note posted Monday. B次元官网网址淢y only regret is that I will not know how Coronation Street will end.B次元官网网址

Churchill rhymes off his greatest accomplishments in life, saying he married his best friend, was in a cage with a lion B次元官网网址 qualifying that this was not his wife B次元官网网址 spent years enjoying the freedom of motorcycle riding and visited his B次元官网网址漵econd home of Ireland.B次元官网网址

Churchill, who was from Newfoundland but lived with his wife Melissa in Cole Harbour, N.S., also offered some guidance to people reading his obituary.

B次元官网网址淢y advice to you all is to make those bucket lists and to start filling them in. Life is short and it only runs out; I should know, I was only 44,B次元官网网址 he wrote.

B次元官网网址淪o get off your butts and live those lives while you still have them and make sure you really think of what you want to matter on those last days. I bet it wonB次元官网网址檛 be the colour or the model of your car.B次元官网网址
