Why it doesn't cannonically make sense for cayde to have a statue
I see a lot of people wanting cayde to have a big memorial somewhere in the tower and while I completely understand and somewhat agree with this from a player perspective, lore wise it makes no sense.
Think of all the heroes of the tower. Saint-14, Wei Ning, Eriana-3, The Iron Lords and all the previous hunter vanguards like Andal Brask. There was never anything comemorating them, we only knew of their existence through lore tabs outside of the game. I'm not sure if it's a case of denial or maybe just an acceptance of the dangerous way guardians live but they don't seem to be big on memorials. Cayde is merely the latest in a long line of dead heroes, the only reason he's special is because we as a player knew him personally. Just an observation.
Edit: To all those saying, yes I know 8 of the Iron Lords have statues but that is at Felwinter peak and that temple was closed to all but Saladin for hundreds of years. The tower is/was void of any memorials save the small ones we have for Cayde. Maybe there is a graveyard for honoured guardians somewhere in the city but there is not one at the tower.

As a bit of a counterpoint, though, Cayde seems to have been a man of the City. Where the Iron Lords had the Temple, and other heroes have come and gone, Cayde was the kind of man who really clicked with people. Amanda, Ikora Rey, presumably other people in places he frequented. Cayde had that sort of easygoing, friendly personality that made people like him. Even Hawthorne and Deverim, neither of whom were particularly fond of Guardians, liked him. That would be part of why he might get a memorial. Not JUST because of his heroism, but because, more than being a hero, he was a friend.
