Really sad to see people focusing on his negative past when he was given a chance and spent the last months of his life improving himself and helping others. I know the people who are remembering him in a negative light wouldn't like to get another chance and spend the rest of their life spreading positivity just for people to ignore their progress and disrespect them when they die. It's quite clear if you look at the last months of his life and the things he was doing that he was making progress and was turning himself into a better person. Most of the things he is being criticized for are either untrue or he made right with the person and earned their forgiveness.
Not saying he didn't anything bad, but he did a lot of good things as well and made a lot of progress from where he started.
having done good afterwards doesn't negate the horrible things he did prior though, and I simply believe he's not an individual that should be "put on a pedestal". I think it is good to point out his attempt at improving himself as you did though, but it's still wise to remember the negative things he did as well.
Whether you were a fan of his or not, he clearly wasn't an amazing human. Doesn't mean he deserves what happened to him, far from it, but just because he passed doesn't mean he should be treated as a saint.
