Picking up Zero999's suggestion: if that were my account, I would be honored if the status were set to something neutral, like "inactive", and some additional info were given in the profile summary. Within the existing framework "Location: deceased" might work.

works on many different levels.
Zero999:
Come to think of it, does Dave have a plan for this place, when he dies or becomes too ill to run it?
LaserSteve:
Requiescat in Pace .*
My thoughts are with the family.
*Pace = Peace = pronounced "Pa-che"

Or something along the line of 'moved on to the eternal tinkering shack'. Makes me wonder: how many other forum members with active accounts are no longer with us?
@Fraser: my condolances!
