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.

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.

At what point does a corpse go from Gumby to Robocop? Honest question....curious how a person would be placed in a coffin for the burial ceremony.
