Shooting victim honored at wake with games, snacks, jersey and body propped in chair
https://www.sbnation.com/2018/7/9/17...ingly-touching Renard Matthews was a New Orleans 18-year-old who loved video games, junk food, and the Boston Celtics. So when his life was tragically cut short in a shooting June 26, his family found the perfect way to celebrate his time on the planet: by remembering him the way he’ll live on in their hearts. Matthews’ wake eschewed a traditional casket for a more familiar setup. The young man was front and center, reclining in a chair in front of an entertainment center. He wore sunglasses, Kyrie Irving’s No. 11 alternate home Celtics jersey, and even a pair of Irving socks. There was a Playstation 4 controller in his hand, giving way to the action on the screen; an NBA 2K showdown being autoplayed between the Golden State Warriors and his Celtics. Beside him, snacks ranging from cereal to nacho cheese Doritos to a bottle of Barq’s root beer put the finishing touches on the scene. |

That is actually pretty cool. Kudos for the family doing something different as long as that is what the deceased would have wanted.

If he had stayed at home doing this we wouldn't be discussing this.

Kind of reminds me of when the Chiefs were propping up Mike Brown at safety.

If you keep him embalmed, you could do it with other family members as they die, and then keep putting the embalmed ones in the audience of the funerals. After a few generations, each funeral would have a great mix of living and dead guests.
