I don't usually answer these questions myself, but I'd like to think someone would think "He always tried his best."

I don't care to be honest. If that is not a valid answer, something like "He wasn't such an asshole as most others."

Considering that most people who are remembered were terrible people, if I am remembered after my death, I have probably become something terrible.

Don't care what the last thing thought about me as much as who thought it.

Maybe a chance meeting with a nameless person who made an impact on a bad day.
I like to give out genuine compliments to random people - great dress, love your hair, I love your wibe etc...
It would be lovely to be remembered and forgotten as the nameless stranger.

I always wanted to be remembered with, "He forgot more things than most people ever knew."

This is likely to be true, because two of my grandparents had dementia/Alzheimer's.

Either "Fuck that guy" or "what was that Guy's name again? Eh, doesn't matter."

Contrary to "Nice, dick!".

Honestly, "He was pretty funny." Something with warm, happy memories and none of the bittersweetness of missing someone. I want my net contribution to this world to be joy.
