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. |

Yeah, true...a valid point...I'm just thinking it kind of trivializes his life.

As most of us here I'm a Chief's fan...and if my family buries me in a Chief's jersey I'll come back and haunt them for years...like the Chiefs have me.

Yep, they wanted to put his study books there but decided to go with his leisurely selections.

Black people are so interesting in what they think and do. Not first time I've seen something similar.

I saw something like this a couple of years ago....it was a steelers fan sitting in his man chair.
This could be a fun MS Paint thread. If you died and your family chose this method, what would be YOUR setup that made people think of you? Sitting on the shitter looking at your phone for an hour? Napping on a lazy boy next to a half glass of warm iced tea? Laying on a creeper underneath a car? |

just set me up, sitting, leaned over with my forehead in my palm.
Just like I was watching a Chiefs playoff game.
