it might just beat giving up the thing you love in order to live.

Perhaps a better way to express our feelings is that "at least he was able
to do what he loved until his last minute with us."

I've thought about the "dying doing something he loved" phrase, too. I
agree with some of the underlying principles, but also see that it is a way
to sugarcoat a tragedy.

And you'll still die.
