The victim's survivors get rid of the gear, which is probably an unpleasant reminder, and get cash for it, which can help with the financial consequences of the accident.
Yes, I'd most likely give it to one of my sons. Perhaps it would be a constant reminder that death never takes a holiday; awareness and good judgement is a minimum requirement when diving.

Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
If I'm on the computer, I'm approximately 100 meters from the ocean. Maybe a little less. It depends on tide.

I've paid a premium for the used gear of a dead friend. Of course, I knew his widow and kids needed the money, as did all the other purchasers of his estate. By the time his friends were done cleaning out the garage, there wasn't a thing left to remind her, and there was far more cash in the shoe box than if it had been sold on the normal used gear market.
So, I guess my answer would be, yes, depending upon the circumstances.
