Perhaps with good living and taking advantage of rising average lifespans in first world countries, he could be living naturally to 120-150. By then, there may be ways to technologically enhance your body and stop organs from failing. Since "natural old age" death is due to organ failure, replacing them with new parts ensures that such a thing is unlikely to happen. This means that the only realistic ways for him to die are:
1. Accidents
2. Disease
3. Suicide

I will die procrastinating. I will be 117 and my dying words will be "I'm going to kill myself... tomorrow."

You're being obtuse on purpose. Obviously in my hypothetical scenario most of the body has been replaced by robotic components.

I disagree. As I've said before, it is perfectly reasonable to expect late-teens nowadays to live to 3 digits. Computing is developing at a speed greatly outpacing that. By 2111 - in just 100 years - I predict that robotic replacements to organic materials will be as commonplace as plastic surgery is today.

That's how everything is. But plastic surgery is cheap enough for normal people to afford it with some saving nowadays. Unless by "rich" you actually mean "people with jobs and a good attitude to working".
If we can figure out exactly how it works, I don't see why not. Some religious people may disagree with me, but I don't listen to those kind of religious people re science, since they're almost always wrong.

Sounds about right. I sometimes get so wrapped up in what I'm doing that I'll shirk necessary... fuck, can't get the word here. Stuff. That's my placeholder. It's just so hard for me to work up the motivation to do things that I won't tear myself away from them until I tire of whatever it is that I'm doing. If I do, then I'll lose interest, and interest is something I don't often come across, either.

Perhaps. I remember reading that the newest AIs are based on the human brain functions and so have the ability to learn. Perhaps if we have the ability to 'upload the brain' to a machine, we would not even need bodies at all.

No not really. But if I had the choice now I would have several different settings. It would be like a video game console.
So if I wanted like to be an adventurer maybe I could have like a TES setting or a FO setting. Or maybe I could be at a never-ending party. Or a giant library filled with every form of media available. Or playing sports with friends.

You don't need to. If you can't think of anything to say, there's stuff online.
It also isn't your responsibility to coddle them about losing someone who was so sick they needed that kind of care. That's something you come to terms with before it happens. That's how I felt about my grandfather.
I feel very disconnected with death. A guy I knew in high school died when I was in my early 20s, and I was friendly with him but I felt nothing at his passing. Nothing.
The first girl I had a crush on in high school died and I felt very detached from it. I remember the priest coming in and talking about how if she could come back, she wouldn't want to because she was so happy where she was.
That's when I realized religion was fucked. It felt so empty and false, and I felt like he should shut up.

I can always think of something to say, I'm very good at that. I just hate to see people in anguish. It's also a PR move on my part. I want business to keep coming in, and no one else at the home is capable of doing such things.
When my grandmother died, even though I knew for a long time that it was coming. It still crushed me. Seeing her have that heart attack made me want to die myself. If I can spare others that pain,I will.

If i had to guess - suicide by asphyxiation or drowning (just going out into the ocean seems so beautiful to me. I know it sounds very terrifying, but i love the ocean. I have thought about it a lot. it would just need to be warm). If not that, definitly a stroke or heart attack. The way I eat will likely kill me within a year or two.
