Killing off Two Father Figures

[Joe Washington]

I’m thinking of killing off two father figures in two different parts of a story I’m writing. They both die differently but I’m thinking that there may be something off about it and it could project a negative message to the readers. What do you think? Two dead father figures too many?

Everyone dies. Father figure 2's only putting off the inevitable if he survives, so he might as well eat it when it's dramatically convenient.
