One of my Facebook friends died a few years ago.
This isn’t counting all the silly profiles people have made for dead composers, Queen Victoria, etc., who I’ve added as friends because I thought they were funny.
3, My Mother who passed away almost 2 years ago, my Aunt who passed from cancer 6 months ago and my first real boyfriend who drowned 7 years ago.
None that I know of, but two on my livejournal (yes, I still have one).
I had one, but this thread reminded me to unfriend him. He was merely an acquaintance who happened to have the same first name of me. We had a lot of the same friends and saw eachother around at times at various things, but I never really got to know him. He probably looked me up on facebook one night and friended me… but anyhow he died of a drug overdose a few months ago.
Apparently two, I logged on today to find that my boyfriend’s roommate passed away this week. I was supposed to hang out with him and some other friends tomorrow.
Six. All who died in 2012. I can’t bear to let them go.
Two. One in 2010 (every month or two a friend posts a note), and one two days ago.
One. A high school friend’s husband had cystic fibrosis, which finally claimed him last year. When I first Facebook friended him back in 2010 or so, we said that we should get together and play board games sometime, since he and his wife enjoyed that kind of thing. We never did and now I guess we never will.
Same here…
One, a real-life local friend who was killed in a car accident several years ago. Generally, his profile is completely inactive, but occasionally he’ll show up as a “People you might want to invite” when mutual friends post events, which is slightly creepy. Still, I can’t bear to unfriend.
Just one — my former sister-in-law. And I’ll echo gwendee’s sentiments.
Three. Two of whom died just before their birthdays last year. A bit confronting going to wish someone happy birthday and seeing all the sad posts on their walls. I do miss them all…
Me three.
Other than him, about 4-5 others.
I had the thought the other day that in 50-70 years, if FB is still around, it’s going to be littered with hundreds of dead people having nothing but an entire list of dead friends. Pretty morbid, thought…a good post for a future “Vaguely Creepy Thread”.
