The simple answer is yes. The child support is owed to the parent and not the child. As cold as it sounds, whether the child is alive is irrelevant. If the debt is owed the parent it is still owed until the statutue of limitations (deadline to collect) expires. In most states that is many, many years after the debt first became due.

The big difference is that the state will not take the case at all if the child is deceased. You will need the help of a private support collection agency if you cannot collect on your own.
