Even in the afterlife, late salesperson Billy Mays is still beloved as the OxiClean man.
Mays tragically died on June 28, 2009, at age 50 due to hypertensive heart disease, and at the funeral, some guests honored him by wearing blue shirts and khaki pants, similar to his iconic OxiClean attire.
It seems the late Mays is still remembered for his ties to the cleaning product.
Nearly two days after what would've been his 66th birthday, Mays son, Billy Mays III, made a trip to Pittsburgh's Calvary Cemetery and noticed the cleaning product being left on his father's tombstone.
The OxiClean bottle was gently placed next to an engraving, which reads, "Beloved husband, father and son," along with Mays' nickname, "Pitchman."
Responses to the imahe were equally sincere as the OxiClean gesture itself, with many paying their respects, while others hilariously complimented Mays' presence as a salesman.
Following his death, much of Mays' infomericials were pulled off the air but later brought back into rotation after being permitted by his family.
"Billy believed in every product he sold, and he loved nothing more than bringing helpful products to people at a great savings," said Mays' widow, per The New York Times.
