Why does the father choose death as his son’s godfather?

The father chose death to be his son's godfather because of his station of life. The father wanted his son to have a fair chance in life. The father didn't care about the family background. He wanted his son to have a chance to succeed in life. But since the son was given without hard work and sacrifice, he misunderstood his relationship with his godfather which caused demise.
