Is it wrong to un-friend a dead facebook friend?

I have a deceased facebook friend, rest his soul, whose account was apparently on some odd automatic birthday card notification deal when he passed, so that everyday I get several 'Send so-and-so birthday greetings' from his account. Yeah, csb.

Would someone look unkindly on me, if I went and deleted him as a friend now? I certainly wish his memory no ill.

You can request his page to be memorialized, that may stop the birthday messages and allow you to keep his page liked...

Who would notice?

ETA: I mean, how would anyone notice? Unless they have a list of your friends now, and then go back in a couple of weeks and compare it to your current list of friends (now down one) they'd never know. There's no broadcast that goes out "YA Tittle has unfriended Joe Smith"

So are these once a year messages an issue for some reason?

You can mark certain responses as spam. You can also turn notifications off from specific friends.

What happens down the road when you're thinking of him and would like to view his profile or pics? I would just block him as opposed to permanently deleting him

Just 'unfollow' him. He will still be one of your 'friends' but you won't see anything from his newsfeed.

So you're only friends with someone when they are alive? You are rotten YA!

Wanna be FB friends? I won't die on you I swear.

I had a close friend that killed himself. His dad kind of lost it for a while. He kept my buddy's phone activated and after 3 months he started "checking in" on FB as his son everywhere he went.
