In light of the death of one famous person, here is a prayer for the countless infamous, those who died anonymously with no family or friends to notice or to grieve:

O merciful God, take pity on those souls who have no particular friends and intercessors to recommend them to You, who either through negligence of those who are alive or through length of time, are forgotten by all. Spare them, O Lord, and remember Your own when others forget to appeal to Your mercy. Let not the souls You have created be parted from You, their Creator. 

Amen.
