A Skyrim modder added an in-game-shrine to honor a fellow gamer who passed away, after his brother shared the story about how he would visit the last savegame he ever made. Since then, hundreds of players have shared screenshots of their own characters paying their respects, like mine here.
The whole story shows how great the gaming community can be, despite tending to get a lot of bad press in the mainstream media. You can download the mod yourself and read the full story here:
