The first time I was affected when someone I only ever knew online died was when we lost Deejay, who had a huge store of characters and webpages I used regularly.  His final page stayed with me a long time.

We need a memorial post or sticky for all the Heroes we've lost.  Too many.

One of the sad consequences of being here for so long is that eventually we start to see some old familiar faces go away.
 
Rest in peace, Scott, and thank you for everything.

One of my friends in our 2nd Edition AD&D game had achieved a 12th level Lord (fighter) and decided to go adventuring on his own.  He was arrogant in his abilities and went into the badlands where he was lured into a prepared ambush where is warhorse was a liability and his movement restricted.  Many kobolds died as they shot and grappled with him to the point that he was eventually hogtied and unable to move.  The last thing he saw was a kobold chieftain who took off his helmet and brought a club down on his head.
 
He woke up in the badlands with few hitpoints and all his magic stripped from him. 
 
The next six months of gaming was about him getting the old team together to go dig out an emboldened kobold tribe that had traded his VERY fancy magic items for low level magic daggers and arrows with some bought-in magical defences. being outnumbered and swarmed by kobolds willing to grapple and die to create advantage for their fellows was there even in 2nd edition.  I will bet it is much easier to do in 5th but I gave my players a healthy fear of going anywhere they were outnumbered unless they had properly planned an escape route.

I think all the comments are on point.  If you are talking gameplay then it is relatively simple and, if they are enjoying the game they can delve into character creation.  I have generally asked what kind of character they want and then produced the character with the proviso that I will change anything if the character in gameplay is not what they expected.
 
My only addition would be to bespoke character sheets for them removing most of the mechanics and only give the numbers they really need to pay attention to.  There have been a number of examples over the years but the time invested in the character sheet often delivers in play.  I insist that the character sheet is the players GUI to the game/setting/campaign.
