There are a couple of issues here. First of all, we can't ignore copyright rules just because someone says it won't be a problem. Legally, there's too much potential for abuse if we accept that. You can find more information specifically about requirements for copyright releases at Copyright.

The other issue is, quite frankly, the obituary (not an article) as written is inappropriate in form and style for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a memorial, it's an encyclopedia, and the obituary is not remotely written in a neutral, biographical, encyclopedic style.
