"Something's wrong...
DAMMIT!"

It's so simple, yet so thorough. Me being dead is pretty much the whole message.
And here's the source of said fantastic lasting words.

EDIT: Looking at my signature again, I'm reminded of the phrase "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati." When all else fails, play dead.

Can go with that.

In reality, I think my epitaph should be...

"BELIEVE
OBEY
FIGHT"

"GOD AND COUNTRY"

"LAST OF THE FAMILY NAME" (it's true, I'm the last person with my last name capable of reproduction)

Should it be due to dying during service in the Marines,

"MY COUNTRY IS MY LOVE"

"STANDING STRONG IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD"

and, classic patriot style,

"I REGRET THAT I HAVE BUT ONE LIFE TO LIVE FOR MY COUNTRY"
