Most of what I have seen on the meme communities I follow have been par-and-course with what I expected to see on internet. Although I agree that it is morally wrong to joke with malintent when someone passes, I think humor is a normal response to tragedy. As long as the memes aren't egregious about it, then they still get a chuckle out of me and help me feel better about the situation.

Did these folks make fun of Kobe Bryant and his daughter?
No? Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't understand what this has to do with the question I asked. Do you mind to elaborate? I'm serious and I'm not trying to act like dickhead, so sorry if I have offended someone.
Kobe - helicopter - ded
Yeah I know that, but I don't get it how this is related to some people making fun of couple billionaires losing their lives in pretty horrible way. And again sorry if I offend someone
He was just making a reference about people laughing at dead people. Simple as that.
It's not something I would ever do. I guess I'm superstitious but taking death lightly makes me feel like I'd have to pay for that later...
I can relate to you.
