Answer:

Deep Respect

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the context of the sentence, he is displaying a great deal of respect in the man in life and also in death. the only other answer i see that makes sense is a sense of great pity, that one can easily be ruled out because pity is more of a feeling of regret or feeling bad for someone, in this case it is more admiration than empathy.
