> We are not happy how he died. We are happy the way he lived.

Exactly.

> It's not real.

"Just because it's made up, doesn't mean it isn't real."

> It’s meant to be illogical.

Not at all. I have a big head, many things can fit into it at the same time. I can experience moderate amount of sadness over this specific person dying at this specific day. (Only a moderate amount because I didn't them personally, and for 90 year old dying is not that remarkable.) And at the same time feel happiness over that he kept flying that long during his life. One can experience both at the same time. If this is illogical to you wait until you taste some sweet and sour sauce.
