I don't want to slowly deteriorate until I am a burden and my family feels terrible because a small part of them is waiting for me to die.

Andre3000s father died in a way I would want to go.

I am not sure how old he was, but he died while chopping wood within a year of the death of his wife.

Can't really imagine a better way to go.
