How about the trees of Oklahoma?

Do you think the tree knew he was a lawyer?
Do you know the difference between a lawyer and a catfish?
One's a bottom dwelling scum sucker.
And, the other one's a fish.

A fitting end for an environmental activist lawyer IMO. Not quite as good
as being eaten by a mountain lion, but it will do.

Blake Champlin led a life we all can envy. He was a terrific husband,
father and grandfather. He led the city's astromony club, enjoyed
basketball, and scuba. He made his own beer and was about to take up
sky diving. Blake was an intellectual without trying to seem one.
He was a voracious reader and was also a man's man. He was a lawyer
with the highest ethics. He took cases with merit and advocated for
his clients in a reasonable and civil tone. He was respected by his
adversaries as much as his clients.
Blake's funeral was a celebration of a life well spent. Blake lived
the American dream and, being Blake, would have laughed with you at
the Tulsa World headline.
Having lost a good friend and grieved with a devastated family, I'm
not feeling quite so charitable.
