In my industry we have a section in our newsletters and forums dedicated to our lost comrades. It is based on a poem written many years ago by Captain Michael Larkin entitled “Flying West.” Perhaps the moderators could come up with a sticky thread and call it something similar - like “Final Round.”

Tom Sheehan does a nice job on his FB page "Drag Racing stars that have passed...RIP" I don't think there needs to be a change here though.

Whether Classracer.com starts a thread for obits or not, one thing I have noticed across social media is the fact that when speaking of someone who has passed, sometimes the full name of the individual is not mentioned. Your close friend who has passed is well known to you and your family but he or she is more than just Bill or Jane. By also stating their last name people reading about them could realize that they do in fact know who it is and are more attentive to the information. It also helps when looking for info in the local media as far as where you can pay your respects to the departed soul and their family.
