Desmond Amofah, also known as Etika, recently commited suicide and was found dead by the NYPD. In one of his past videos, he made a statement about where he wanted to be buried, saying he wished to be buried at Youtube HQ.

Out of respect for him and the joy he brought into others' lives, I think it's the least we and Youtube can do to respect his last wishes, honoring his legacy instead of focusing on the negatives. I truly believe this can be done, and I know there are so many others out there who loved Etika. Of course, this can only be done if his family so allows, so this also goes out to you, his family. We implore you to let his last wishes be accepted, but if you do not we will all respect your decision. I can only hope you and Youtube will be willing to do this. I know a lot of people want it.

Goodbye, Desmond. You will always have a special place in our hearts. I hope you have yourself a damn good time, wherever you are.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
