I have a friend who passed away earlier this year. I found out on Facebook, as there was a sudden influx of people commenting on his wall about his passing.

8 months later, the account is still active. Facebook will occasionally tell me that I should reconnect with him, which frankly is a bit creepy.

The worst part, however, is that his mom still posts messages on his wall as if he can read them. I find this equal parts creepy and sad.
