Best practices for deceased community members

A member of my community passed away two years ago.

While he was definitely known for producing some outstanding work, the way a community lives and functions sometimes makes a user become inactive quite unnoticed.

At least publicly, no one asked for news (I was notified by a family member by email), and I didn’t take any specific action towards the account, nor set any kind of memorial feature, believing that if an announcement was to be made, it should come from the family, or with the family’s authorization. I asked them but never got any reply.

So the account remains untouched, even if it makes me sad that it seems just forgotten despite how precious they were for this community. :frowning:
