I’m going to assume this is a serious question posed by the OP, and so I will give a serious answer:
From my wife, I hope she remembers me as fiercely loyal, honorable and protective as a husband, and Father. I hope she remembers, and understands our lives together and my love for her and our boys is something I valued beyond literally anything else.
From my three sons, I hope they remember me as someone who was always there for them no matter how busy I was at work, and no matter how tired I was. I also hope they remember me as the person who taught them the importance of Family, the importance of questioning authority, and the value in having an inquisitive and questioning mind. I also hope they remember me as the person who taught them there is strength and honor in being peaceable, and that to help others less fortunate is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
From my employees I hope they remember me as fair, hardworking and generous.
We don’t have friends really as all my time is spent at work and with family, so outside those two areas I will likely be remembered as a quiet and shy family man.

Watson told me people online are not friends, they are aquaintances.

I kinda thought it was serious too... My only real desire is to not be a burden on anyone financially, physically, or emotionally. So the less stuff I leave behind the better. Out of sight, out of mind.
Or, "mostly harmless"
Man, I wish I'd thought of that.
"I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different."
Don't make anyone else's farting more difficult by your passing.

That was my shorthand version of what you basically said.

I would like to go out in a blaze of glory, though. A spectacular rescue of some kidnapped nuns or taking out a group of evil doers while rescuing The Swedish Bikini Team. I don't think I'll get that chance, but it would be nice.
Another thought, rather than dying in my sleep, maybe when I'm 90 I'll go skydiving with a bum chute and have it filmed. What a spectacular way to go.

That is the land of lost content,I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went and cannot come again." Nothing I say is intended to be a factual statement.
