[Best practices for deceased community members](https://meta.discourse.org/t/best-practices-for-deceased-community-members/146210)

since I suspended the deceased user (for security reasons), but apparently that also stops his username being auto-completed in the search field.

Since this user was our most prolific poster, this is far from ideal.

Is there any way to have the user suspended but also have his username still auto-complete in the search fields and elsewhere?

Also, “Deceased” should be an option for reason for Suspending a user.

Thanks.
