Found out yesterday that a right-wing boomer I worked with died after having a stroke late last week. I work in the public sector (Gen X) and had the unpleasant experience of working next to him in the late 2000s. He was basically the right-wing archetype, an under educated guy who secured a cushy job based on his social connections and who had zero empathy for anyone outside of his tribe. He watched Fox News/listened to Rush Limbaugh and railed against the government/socialism, while simultaneously sucking off the government teat. After a 33 year long career, which was spent entirely in the public sector, he somehow managed to amass $4 million in his retirement savings account and was looking forward to retirement next year with a generous public pension.
He was unmarried and did not have any immediate family, as he was never able to attract a long-term mate which would overlook his toxic personality. Apparently, as he was being wheeled into the hospital his last request to his coworkers was that his extended family not be allowed to take possession of his precious pickup truck. As such, it sounds like he died intestate (i.e. without a will) which means the courts will divide up his estate among his next closest kin.
As always, the best laid plans of mice and men. And well, karma is a bitch.
