Death tends to bring what is really important to the fore, and last words are a character's expression of who they really are. Whether they are [[Taking You with Me|going out with a bang]], [[It Has Been an Honor|saying heartfelt farewell]], [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner|facing death bravely]], or [[I Regret Nothing|expressing no regrets]], it makes for great drama. |

"Know a man for years. Live with him, share his bread and water, speak with him on every subject. Then tie him up and hold him over a volcano's edge. On that day, you shall finally meet that man."
—Chinese warrior-poet Xiang Yu

Death tends to bring what is really important to the fore, and last words are a character's expression of who they really are. Whether they are going out with a bang, saying heartfelt farewell, facing death bravely, or expressing no regrets, it makes for great drama.
Probably the closest thing this category has to a supertrope is Famous Last Words.
What if you don't live by a volcano? I suspect the trope description was being poetical.
