I logged into Facebook this afternoon and saw this

Fred was a Film TA when I was going to KU. I think Facebook is just trying help me reconnect with an old contact, but in this case the reason I haven’t talked to Fred lately is because he died of cancer this year. The page remains as a way for people to post stories about Fred. Considering this is becoming more and more popular, I see this “feature” creating a lot of unintended grief.
