He wants to be cremated, he did not want to have a gravestone and he did not want to have a big funeral so it s just going to be a memorial with a few family and friends. He said he didn t want to have a gravestone because he was worried people would mess with it just like they messed with him when he was alive. He just wants to be left in peace to leave the world.

But he was clear he didn t want a gravestone. This all just happened so fast we thought we had months, Block said.
