Obituary of Nikon 3000

by Megan B.

Nikon 3000, of Cookeville, passed away early Saturday morning from a broken lens. Nikon was born in a small factory town in eastern Texas to Nik and Konnie 3000. He is the youngest of two brothers, Canon and Samuel Sung. He had a wonderful life, and he was well loved by all who met him. He always felt his sole purpose in life was to make people happy. He did this by telling stories about his world travels. From Turkey to Hawaii to Costa Rica, his stories told a thousand words. He had such a brilliant mind.

Early in his life, he began painting. He eventually was accepted to The Art Institute. He graduated top of his class and had a successful career as a landscape and portrait painter. He once painted a picture of the man on the moon that was so realistic it ended up in TIME Magazine’s Most Influential Images of All Time. His work has been featured in many other places, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Wikipedia. He saw many things in his life, some good, some bad, some terrible. He saw the top of Mount Everest, and captured sea turtles in the deep blue sea. He saw war in all of its gore and tragedy. He saw peace in all of its serenity. But most of all, he got to see an ever-changing world grow into a whirlwind of technologically advanced gadgets.

As he got older, he slowed down and his memory faded. His sight began to get a little foggy, but he never lost his ability to make anyone flash a smile.

            Nikon is preceded in death by Film, Polaroid, and Kodak. He is survived by his wife, Pan, short for Panasonic, and his two sons, Go and Pro.

His memorial service on December 22 will be captured at sunset on Panoramic Drive.
