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. |

Maybe the family members can keep them at their houses. This fellow looks pretty natural.

If my friends and family feel the need to prop me up in a chair with a Playstation controller in my hands to properly honor my life....I should just end it now.
