Within Amateur radio there is a term that refers to operators who sadly pass away, this term is 'Silent Key'.
The term originates from the days of the early telegraph operators who used a 'Telegraph key' to send messages and information by Morse code, when they died their individual Keys and callsigns were no longer used and so fell silent..
