Reinstate and memorialize Eben Talmage's Instagram profile
The Issue
It's been almost two and a half years since Eben Talmage tragically took his own life, leaving a void that words cannot fill for his friends and family in Kennebunk, ME, USA. More than just a collection of posts and pictures, Eben's Instagram profile served as his digital will, a chronicle of his life since 2008, and a touchstone for all who knew and loved him. For us, Eben's profile was not merely a webpage but a digital time capsule—a place where we could revisit cherished memories and feel his presence even after his passing.
This week, without explanation, Eben's Instagram profile has been inexplicably set to private, with connections deleted and potentially all content erased. This echoes the distressing deletion of his Facebook profile. As with his Facebook, these platforms held the essence of Eben, the connections, and the significant milestones he reached. His estranged wife, Andrea "Annie Rose" Talmage (Detterman), the executor of his estate, holds the power to reinstate and transform it into a memorialized account.
We urge Annie and Instagram (Meta) to understand the profound emotional significance of Eben's digital presence. Reinstating his profile as a memorial would not only honor his memory but also offer solace to his family and friends. By championing this cause, we advocate for the preservation of his impact and the important connections he fostered. This digital legacy stands as a testament to the love and influence he had on our lives.
Please sign this petition to support our request to turn Eben Talmage’s Instagram profile into a memorialized account. By doing so, we can ensure that Eben's memory lives on, providing comfort and a point of reflection for friends, family, and future generations. Help us keep his story and spirit alive.
