Can someone help me translate this Danish death notice?

This is a stub of an answer, but here are some resources that can help you get started.

From the FamilySearch Research Wiki:

FamilySearch also has resources for Denmark and Danish records in the Help Center Lessons. You can search by going to the main FamilySearch screen and clicking on Help in the upper right corner, then choosing Help Center from the drop-down menu.
