How to Memorialize a Profile?

[Vegan Gaymer]

Is there a way to memorialize a member who has died in the community. We have lost a few in the past couple of years and I've been trying to figure out a way to identify the profiles as memorialized so they can stand as informative tributes.

Any ideas or apps would be greatly appreciated for this sensitive subject. Thank you.

New member group with a special icon maybe?

Oh that's a nice idea. I will do that! But I also want something more obvious. I guess I don't know what I'm exactly looking for until I find it. I could create a profile banner and replace theirs, but that doesn't feel right.

I think this'll be the best way to do it for now (the new group method). It keeps their profiles 100% intact, shows people that you respect their decisions on it, and still gives others the information that they have passed.

A new member group with nice icon looks just fine

I thought may be this app could help but I dont know if admins can create "testimonials" on behalf of his members. Not a true "testimonial" but a kind word of you/your community, for them

Oh, that's really touching. I'm getting teared up just looking at this. Thank you for the example.

The avatar was that users avatar.  He was loved by all, died riding a bike (on a trainer) in his garage.  Died of a heart attack, less than 50.  I never met him, but considered him a friend.  We took it pretty hard.
