Trying to find an old friend's character

Hey guys,
All this talk about WoW Classic has me thinking about my old friend I used to play WoW with back in those days. Sadly he took his own life in 2007 and his character disappeared into the nether. I always meant to do something like a funeral for him but never did. The character name was Shmaklepaps (spelling might be wrong) and he was a 70 Orc Warrior on the Thunderlord server. I would love to see the character once again just to bring back some memories I guess. Any help would be appreciated.
