Renard Matthews was killed in New Orleans 2 weeks ago. He was a young 18 years old, and while the tragedy of losing him so young weighs heavy on his family, they chose to have his body prepared for Sunday afternoon’s wake in a way that they want to remember him.

At the Charbonnet Labat Glapion Funeral Home in Treme, Matthews was sitting in a chair, video game controller in hand, surrounded by his favorite snacks, and his beloved Boston Celtics on the television screen.

Somebody start a gofundme to buy that young man a season ticket to the Celtics. One plane ticket should do, since he can just sit there between games.

"Matthew's mother Temeka says her son was a bit of a homebody..."

The way a family grieves the loss of a son should in no way be a point of judgment for all of you. RIP sir.

It's weird enough that his family did this even weirder that they took pics. I'm getting a Weekend at Bernie's vibe.
