Of course, until the media paints him as a "beloved father and husband."
It's not judgment, just correcting the record.
Beloved father may well still be true.
In which case, "beloved" is not necessarily a qualifier for "husband". That's some clever word play. He's a beloved father...also he's a husband. Nothing really to say about the latter one. Just stating a fact.
The Victorian era had a whole coded obituary system for this kind of thing, e.g. “he was generous with his affections and had a convivial spirit” aka a drunk who cheated on his wife constantly.
That makes sense. I've not followed the media portrayal, so I wasn't aware of that context.

Makes me wonder what they'll write about Trump when he passes.
"A leader beloved by all..."
Ken is really killing with that coverage here. Good job.
