Others mentioned his activism and support for minority groups.
It's worth noting that as early as 1955, Hugh Hefner was a strong supporter of gay rights, something I've rarely seen reported about him.

Some used humour to cope.
As per his wishes, Hugh Hefner’s body will be left in a fort in the woods for other kids to find & pass around.
