Just what does "augered his jet and died doing something he loved" mean?

"Auguered his jet and died doing something he loved."

I'm sorry if that's unclear.

love to fly but if I die in a hole in the ground I can guarandamntee you I
will not have died doing something I loved to do, long life or otherwise.

Yeah, well, we don't get to choose whether we die. It's going to happen.
The guy was in his 70s. He could have died of testicular cancer, emphysema,
bone cancer, alzheimers, he could have suffered from MS, he could have
fallen and hit his head in the bathtub, he could have had a stroke or an
aneurism or been paralyzed in a car accident. He could have been murdered
by a robber, he could have had a liver failure and died slowly and painfully
in his own systemic toxins.

He died flying. He loved flying. I have relatives dying of stomach cancer.
They don't love stomach cancer. Are we on the same page now?
