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.

I doubt he would notice.

Probably, but who gives a shite?

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"

poke him and see if you get a response.

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

No, it's like every day. He gets them sent out for each of his friends on each of their birthdays. The dead guy's still got a thousand or so friends, so it averages like 3 per day that I'm getting. I guess I could block that particular deal, but that's always such a pain in the arse.

Yes. You are a terrible person

If it's causing you grief year after year, I don't think anyone will hold it against you.
When I was dating my wife years ago, before Facebook, I had a birthday alarm that would send me an e-mail telling me her birthday was coming up. After she died, I never turned off the alarm. I kind of like seeing it pop up now, years afterward. It reminds me of happy times.
But you can view it however you want. If it's not a good experience for you, then by all means, you can let go of the Facebook page. Download all the pics you might want from it first, though. You might want those later if you were close.

We weren't that close. Still think highly of the guy, though.

Had a Facebook friend pass a while back, and his mother updates his statuses and tags him in pictures. CSB-She actually went off one day on one of the statuses, mildly entertaining, but creepy all at the same time. Also, some of his close friends write on his wall on occasion.
It was really weird seeing stuff being posted by a person who is no longer with us, and people tagging him in pictures. I think this is going to be a big issue in the coming years. I think a true protocol needs to be established.

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

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.
