It fully depends on the available information, doesn't it?
Without information there cannot be judgment.
And if the information I get shows that a person was a bad person by my standards then my opinion sure doesn't discriminate between them still being alive or not.
If someone I liked dies and suddenly it turns out they were only likable in pretense or were secretly an asshole to others then that is new information that changes how I regard them. Yes, absolutely.
And when I got to see information on this Kirk person I could not see how his existence improved any lives except those who were like hom who didn't really care about him as much as they did regard him as a tool for their agendas.
At most they are sad to have lost a pawn.
This all seems to be in theory.
