David Askew, 64, collapsed outside his home in the Hattersley area of Greater Manchester in March.
Neighbours said he had been a victim of anti-social behaviour although a post-mortem examination found he died of natural causes.
Kial Cottingham admitted harassment at Tameside Magistrates' Court.
Cottingham, of Melandra Crescent, Hattersley, was also given a restraining order preventing him from making contact with members of the Askew family.
'Prolonged abuse' He was accused of harassing Mr Askew over a three-month period from 25 January 2010 up to the day of his death on Wednesday 10 March.
Police were called to Mr Askew's home - also on Melandra Crescent - following reports youths had been causing an annoyance.
When officers arrived they found him collapsed and he was taken to hospital, where he later died of heart failure.
Greater Manchester Police said Mr Askew and his family had been subjected to "prolonged anti-social behaviour and harassment" for a number of years before his death.
They said he had severe learning difficulties and was a regular target for "extremely misguided" youths.
Mr Askew would sit at his bedroom window and shout to youths in an attempt to make friends with them, which could sometimes have been interpreted as abusive, and at times lead to animosity, police said.
'Hurtful names' His mother Rose said: "I miss David every minute of every day. He was a lovely lad and he was always with me.
"I did not know how well loved he was until after he died.
"He had been put through hell over the years.
"It was not just one incident - it went on for years. Sometimes he would cry and ask me if I could move people out of our garden because they would call him very hurtful names.
"This has caused me and my family a lot of upheaval and I am glad it is now finally over."
Asst Ch Con Garry Shewan said: "David was an extremely kind, happy person and Rose and the rest of David's family have had to cope with a huge loss in their lives.
"We will continue to provide them with as much support as they need as they try to come to terms with what has happened. "
A 19-year-old man has been detained for 16 weeks after admitting harassing a man with learning difficulties who later died.
