I have learned that a Wikitree member who is the profile manager for a number of private profiles has recently deceased..
What is the procedure for somebody else to take on the responsibility for those profiles?

Here's a couple of helpful links for you:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Death_of_a_Member
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:When_a_user_passes_away
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Advance_Directive
You should send that information to info@wikitree.com
Then, if they have an "Advance Directive", it will let the Admins know what to do with his profiles.
And a good reminder that if you want your private profiles managed after you're gone, you can set one of these up as well.
