How to properly honor a heroic (but not dead) dwarf

So I recently got into Dwarf Fortress. I am only on my second fortresses (my first one died of dehydration as soon as winter came and all the water froze) and my poor dwarfs were recently attacked by a werpanther and I lost 6 dwarfs before the monster was killed. I figured that the dwarf that killed the beast died in the fight (there was blood everywhere) and started preparing an honorable burial for him (bejeweled coffin anyone?) but I found out that the one who did it survived the fight. I obviously can't put him in that coffin now. So what can I do to honor him?
P.S. He has absolutely no leadership skills. I think he is either a lumberjack or a hunter.
Best Answer
Give him a noble title. What titles you have available will depend on the size of your fort but the title of Baron (and its upgraded versons) are perfect for a hero like this.
You could also honour him with material rewards. Carve out an underground mansion for him, filled with high-quality furniture (of his favourite materials or valuable metals if you can get them). You can have a lot of fun designing homes like this and you guarantee that dwarf is going to always be happy.

Engrave the wall and floors. Eventually, one of the engravers will engrave the fight scene with the were-panther.
