Eben Talmage’s Facebook profile was more than just a collection of posts and pictures; it was his last will & testament. It was the chronicle of his life’s journey, filled with memories, connections, and the essence of who he was. For those of us who knew and loved Eben, his profile is a digital time capsule, reaching as far back as 2008—a place where we can revisit the moments we shared with him and feel his presence even after his passing.

A year and a half ago, Eben tragically took his own life, leaving a void that words cannot fill. This week, the personal Facebook profile he left behind was inexplicably deleted. The circumstances surrounding this deletion remain unclear, but what we do know is that his estranged wife, Annie Talmage (Detterman), is the executor of his estate and holds the sole power to reinstate his account.

Eben’s friends and family believe strongly that his Facebook profile should be reinstated and transformed into a memorialized account. This digital space serves a therapeutic purpose, allowing loved ones to grieve, reflect, and celebrate Eben’s life and the love he shared with so many. His profile stands as a testament to the impact he had on the lives he touched, providing comfort and connection to those in mourning.

We respectfully reach out to Annie and Facebook, urging them to understand the profound emotional significance of Eben’s online presence. Reinstating his profile as a memorial would not only honor Eben’s memory but also offer solace to his family and friends during this difficult time. Please, Annie and Facebook, help us preserve this important connection to Eben’s legacy by reversing the deletion and memorializing his profile.

Sign this petition to support our request to turn Eben Talmage’s Facebook profile into a memorialized account, keeping his memory alive for friends, family, and future generations to reflect upon.
