Not to be blunt or anything, but many AH players have passed away, and many more will in the future. Obviously we can't honor every single one of them, can we?
Like Batfink said sharing the heartache and sorrow is all good and sentimental, but there's a line to be drawn between individual matters and public matters. 68KO will be missed by many people, but to honor an individual deceased gamer by effecting a part of the game doesn't seem to be appropriate.
Let 68KO's memories rest with his loves ones and friends. It is there where it belongs, not in the game.
