Getting Out of the Awkward Spot - Deceased Acquaintance

In the case that an interview/coffee chat touched on a deceased acquaintance, and it suddenly got really awkward, what is the best action? I usually avoid bringing this up, but in some past interviews/mocks it did come up, and generally had negative effect. Advice??
