The Ebbe Altberg Memorial

 


Linden Lab's Fourth CEO now has his lasting memorial in Second Life.

Just after the Lab's leader Ebbe Altberg's passing was announced on June 4, Patch Linden would say that there would be a permanent inworld memorial erected for him. On Sunday July 13, Evangeline Ling, posted in the Second Life forums that she had found it. 

"I spotted this today while out on a routine flight in my Goose around Bellisseria.  Thank you to Patch Linden, Abnor Mole and the entire team of Lindens and Moles for memorializing Ebbe Altberg (Ebbe Linden) in such a beautiful way!"

The memorial is on an island in the middle of a lake, with log homes and a railroad track not far away. A stone path leads from the shore of the island up to a bronze statue. Around it's base are a number of candles. A plaque reads "Ebbe Altberg: 1964-2021 Always in our hearts." Just above it is what looks like a book with a likeness of Altberg on the left, and on the right Patch's announcement of his death. Abnor Mole would say of the candles, "The unlit candles you can touch to light in his memory. The ones that have gone out anyone can touch again to renew them, and they are ready to be lit again."
