Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.

His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."

The owner of the Marin Funeral Home, Damaris Marin, told The Associated Press the mother asked him to fulfill her dead son's last wish.

Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.

Damn. Still keepin it gangster even after passing on.

Old news read about it like 3 days ago..But it's still some crazy shit

!Zar! · 08-21-2008, 06:18 PM

Well, let me get you a trophy then.

BustedS13 · 08-21-2008, 06:53 PM

seen it, but....
whenever i get around to making my last will and testament, i'm putting in that i want to be turned into a marionette for my funeral. i want to be the first guy sitting there when everybody comes in, and then halfway through they put a spotlight on my corpse and make me dance into the casket.

So how was the wake?

ronmcdon · 08-22-2008, 12:36 AM

hmmm...if it were me I would use darker glasses and/or force the eyes open. maybe also not put him in the corner like a prop. but hey, I give him credit for trying something out like this. it's admirable to use one's own death as a means of having fun and/or creative expression.

DRavenS13 · 08-22-2008, 12:39 AM

They should have a taxidermist come and upkeep him regularly, so he can post up in the corner indefinitely.

They could put him back out on the street and sell weed.

Weekend at Bernie's- GANGSTA STYLE.

ALTRNTV · 08-22-2008, 01:48 AM

That's fucking creepy. What if it moves?

qwikspool · 08-22-2008, 03:03 AM

creepy. keeping it gangster

slow_sr20 · 08-22-2008, 06:51 AM

when i die just prop me up at the bar.

Dirty Habit · 08-22-2008, 07:35 AM

Reminds me of the movie unforgiven, where they decorate the bar with eastwoods friend.

I love the ending of that movie.

WanganRunner · 08-22-2008, 07:48 AM

LOL!

It's like someone sent a hypebeast to the taxidermist!

"Hey Jimbo, where'd you bag that one?"

"I shot him outside of the HUF store, my cousin Bubba stuffed him for me"

axiomatik · 08-22-2008, 09:44 AM

creepy.......

shishcabobers · 08-22-2008, 10:05 AM

So they basically left him at the corner of the room for 3 days? lawlz

The odor had to be getting worse and worse. Wtf. some people need help.

KwKouki · 08-22-2008, 01:17 PM

they should have done his mouth all open so he can grille his peeps when they come pay respects

mrpeepers · 08-22-2008, 02:03 PM

this guy is soooo dead....why is anyone putting their face that close?!?!

SimpleS14 · 08-22-2008, 02:14 PM

Man that is definitely creepy, but if that is how he wanted to be and his family is ok with it...so be it.

It's still creepy...thank goodness his eyes and mouth are not open.

mRclARK1 · 08-22-2008, 05:01 PM

Imagine how stupid you would feel if you bumped into him and knocked him over.

BAM!!!

"Uhhh... oops"
