Family Gives Son a YuGiOh Card Headstone

23-year-old Simon George Konrad Hill-Williams from Cardiff, Wales has sadly passed away however his family has chosen to honor him with a favorite hobby of his, theming his headstone around a YuGiOh trading card.

Simon’s card says that he is a seven-star dark card with 5000 attack points. The back features the traditional YuGiOh card black vortex-like pattern. The headstone states that Simon was a “Loving Son, Brother, Grandson, Partner, Uncle, and Friend”.

This is followed by a quote from Simon, “Come now, it’s not polite to leave… without saying goodbye“.

Update: Charlotte Ann Hill-Williams has informed us that this quote is originally from Jack of Blades from Fable, which was another of Simon’s favorite games.

Simon’s mother, Virginia Denley-hill also made a post on her Facebook page explaining a bit more about the choice for the headstone:

“I just wanted to say that my son was a huge YuGiOh collector, and so when he passed away in April of this year, it seemed only right his headstone reflected this.

It’s a huge stone and we are so pleased with it, as he would have been.

The Trickster King becomes a card himself.”

It’s a sweet gesture that we’re sure Simon would have appreciated as a fan and collector of the Yugioh card game. We wish all the best for Simon’s friends and family going forward.

The YuGiOh card headstone was created by Thornhill Memorials in Cardiff. They actually made a post on their website explaining the design choices for the headstone in more detail.
