You can do a search at this website. Most of the obituaries that are posted in the newspaper's nationwide are available here. Good Luck!

do an obituary serach online or search his name on yahoo's search engine

If you know the name of the funeral home, they usually list recent obituaries on their www site.

If you don't know the name of the funeral home but know the general location, then you can yahoo the funeral homes in that area and look at each web site until you find his obit.

Sometimes, the family chooses NOT to place the person's obit online. In that case, you'd have to contact a family member for the obit.
