Something loud, public, and newsworthy! I want my dead face on the front pages of newspapers around the country!
And if some person is responsible for my death… I want to take him with me!
Bugger, if Don’t Ask hadn’t got to the joke I wanted to submit first, I still would have been too slow to beat donkeyoatey. That sucks.
Back to the OP, I’d like to die in a suicide effort to save the world or a group of children so I’d have some kinda building named after me.
That’s never going to happen though, I’ll die in a foolish motorbike stunt at 36 probably…
In a hammock at night, looking up at the stars and treetops. Preferably painless, just drifting off and upwards.
Doing something impossibly heroic and noble, like that “Go, tell the Spartans…” stuff.
In the middle of a sentence, when I’ve giving the hero vital information he needs.
Me: “I know who the traitor in our midst is.” ::gunshot::
Him: “Who??”
"The double agent is … is … " ::dies::
Freezing to death as the last weak energies of our sun are disipated into the dying reaches of our system. 
And Czarcasm condemns the entire human race while he’s at it…
I’d like to die in my sleep. That’s it.
I’m the dead one here! its my last day on earth and I would like to be happy dammit!
I really don’t care, so long as I’m very old and it wouldn’t earn me a Darwin Award. I imagine the funerals of Darwin Award winners must be very awkward.
Lying on the top deck of my luxury yacht*, floating off in the middle of the night into the vast, endless reaches of the ocean.
*I don’t have one, but I just thought it’d be cool

On the upstroke. That way you get the downstroke free.

I’d like to go by being hit by a Budweiser truck.
That way, my family could sue the beer maker for assault or something and the sting of my demise is not so harsh with a nice big fat settlement helping them through a bad time.

With my boots on.
Mudshark and I want to be crushed into a mutual glob by either a large safe, an anvil, or a grand piano. Preferably the anvil. I think it’s awfully romantic.
To fall into a black hole. I’d get to see the end of the universe, and all the laws of physics completely break down. It would probably be the most amazing sight possible. I just hope being torn apart by extreme gravity isn’t too painful…
Being a romantic, it’d be in bed with my wife/lover. Not necessarily after sex (during would just be too traumatic, even if the most fun way to go), but in a state of contentment and peace. Tacky maybe, but like I said, I’m a romantic. Hopefully, I’ll be a very OLD romantic.
Or by being blown up reeeal good.
I don’t care. Just make it painless.
On my first sky-diving lesson, my parachutes fail above a small town’s city hall, and I get impaled on the upraised sword of a bronze statue of some forgotten hero of the Turko-Mexican war, scaring the pigeons and waking up the drunks. News and pictures at 11:00.
