I also had similar where I used to work, minus the slim-fast.
Notoriously glutonous eater, probably in the neighborhood of 400 lbs.....all the while relegated to a 3 wheel mobility scooter.
Some people just never grasp the concept of taking care of the physical body.....while unbelievably resilient, it can only take so much.

I used to work with a huge guy like that. He would take the empty donut box in the break room and scrape the crumbs and leftover icing into the corner and funnel it all into his mouth with absolutely no shame. Sad to see really.
Here is a hilarious obituary, written by the deceased just prior to his death.
This obituary was subsequently read by Click & Clack on Car Talk.
The day he died he came into my place, but had a hard time communicating. He walked out the door, stopped on the sidewalk and turned around, shrugged his shoulders and waived goodbye, and went home and died.
Lou, a retired English professor at Bucknell University was quite a character. He wrote his own obituary which was read by Click & Clack on NPR’s Car Talk. (If we all could only have a sense of humor like this when facing death.)(this is real and NOT A JOKE, exactly as published in the newspaper.)
LEWISBURG PA - Louis J. Casimir Jr. bought the farm Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004, having lived more than twice as long as he had expected and probably three or four times as long as he deserved.
Although he was born into an impecunious family, in a backward and benighted part of the country at the beginning of the Great Depression, he never in his life suffered any real hardships.
Many of his childhood friends who weren’t killed or maimed in various wars became petty criminals, prostitutes, and/or Republicans.
He survived three years overseas in an infantry regiment in excellent health, then university for four years on the GI bill, and never thereafter had to do an honest day’s work.
He was loved by good women, had loyal friends, and all his children were healthy, handsome and bright.
For more than six decades, he smoked, drank and ate lots of animal fat, but never had a serious illness or injury.
His last wish was that everyone could be as lucky as he had been, even through his demise was probably iatrogenic.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Judy.
He is survived by his brother Jack of Houston, Texas; and his children, Randall Kent of Brunswick, Ga., Louis John III (Trey) of Lewisburg, Thomas Bettis of Lewisburg and Edith Austin Wheat of Austin, Texas.
Lou was a daredevil: his last words were “Watch this!”
A memorial service and barbecue will be held on Labor Day at Lou’s place.
Per the Obit:
“He leaves behind ......, as well as a pair of old boxers which have ‘Buttweiser the King of Rears’ printed on the design. He will be moderately missed.”
Sigh. Welcome to my world
At that point it’s a mental.
Certainly a lot to love!
One of the obituary condolences says
“Happy Birthday! - Joe Biden”
