If I am ever in the (un)fortunate situation in which I can choose what my last words or message may be, I would want those closest to me how much they mean to me, and that I don't see my death as a tragedy because my life was cut short. From what I have experienced, I believe i've lived a good, abeit short, life. I wouldn't be scared to die, but I would be scared of who I would leave behind. When I'm alive, I know there is someone helping out those who I love, but if I'm gone, they might not have that person they need. It scares me that the people I leave behind would be alone. I suppose I would want to tell my loved ones not to grieve my death, but to know that death isn't necessarily the end. It may be the end of life as we know it, but no one knows what lies beyond death. So I'd like to leave on a positive note, with a hopeful outlook on my life and my loved ones' futures.
I see Chris' last words that he had a good life and that God blessed all is similar to what I would say, except I would show a bit more attention towards those closest to me. I wouldn't want to leave this world without addressing my family and friends directly, because these are the people primarily responsible for my excellent life.
That being said, I would never ever ever seek out a dangerous situation like Chris did. I could go on an adventure like his, but I would never cut off contact from my loved ones like he did. Putting myself in Carine's shoes, I would be sick with worry every day for Chris. I would be happy for him, because he was doing what he wished, but I would want to talk to him to make sure he was okay
