I'll say fade away. I lost my best friend and a brother who was very dear to me because although both were joyful beings, they paid little attention to their physical well-being. I wish that they were still here to enjoy life with me, and eventually, to fade away with me.

Neil said "It's better to burn out than fade away." in one of his old songs from the 80's. His opinion is worth nothing to me.
