obituaries.io is a permanent registry for people known only online. We catalogue them by the names their communities used — gamertag, username, handle. Search by any name they answered to. The memorial outlives the account.

II. From the editors’ desk.
The friendships we make online are real ones.
Some of our deepest relationships now happen entirely through screens. The raid leader who taught you patience. The streamer who kept you company on the worst nights. The mod who built a place you called home. When they die, their accounts go quiet, and the people who loved them are left without any address to send flowers to.
This registry exists to give them one. A permanent, searchable record — indexed by the names they answered to. Anyone who knew them can contribute. The memorial belongs to the community that built the bond.
