Since I didn't know your friend, I don't know what drove him to take his own life. Lack of self-forgiveness figures in many suicides.
In that he's no longer here, but his family is, my advice is to go and offer your condolences and support for them. Their lives have changed, his is over.
That's just my two cents worth.

I agree with what everyone has said! A friend is a special person in your life, friendship is a relationship and all relationships require work, compromise and respect. You may hate what he did but if he was your friend, you can't hate him for doing it. His life is over now but, as others have said, his family remains...and their pain will last forever! Do you really want to turn your back on your friend's memory and his family's grief? Go, comfort them as you can...be a friend!
