Death had to take Chuck Norris sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.

Haha, good one. I will have to steal this one for my upcoming valedictorian speech. The crowd is going to love it.

Except is was said by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall upon Theodore Roosevelt’s death and co-opted as a Chuck Norris joke.

There was a period of like 2 years when I was a kid where chuck Norris jokes were all the rage on the playground and I made an iPhone app that listed them all. Jokes like “Chuck Norris is able to slam a revolving door.” Anyway, I “built” this stupid app when I was like 13, copy-pasted like 300 jokes in there and a random one would show every time you tapped the screen. Chuck Norris’s estate blocked the app from going…

I'm pretty sure they were all the rage when _I_ was at school, but that was long before the iPhone. I'm curious on what grounds they blocked the app.

(Not the parent poster) I found out about them in 2008-2009, and they were quite popular online and offline.

Chuck Norris (and Michael Landon) were golden age role models for young men. Strong but thoughtful, firm but compassionate, and deeply principled but also practical. Yes, these were acting roles but they picked those roles for a reason. Rest in peace, Chuck.

from his instagram for his last birthday ( https://www.instagram.com/p/DVtiSHbETbX/ )

  I don’t age. I level up.

  I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love. Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.

  God Bless,
  Chuck Norris

It's a kickass obituary, no matter the subject!

I grew up watching action films in the 80s and 90s. I always like Chuck Norris ones as they had a humour and ridiclousness about them

Films like Missing in Action ,or delta force where the motorbike fires a rocket were just great at the time

I get he had some funny views later in life - but the films were a laugh at the time
