When you are young and death comes too early for you, people pity for your early exit; there is much more you could have experience and contribute. But people are also more stunned because we are not used to meeting death so closed up...
As we age, we get more familiar with death as he comes more frequently to claim our friends and family, and we become less surprised by his visit. As we grow, we start preparing ourselves to meet him, because we know our turn will soon come.
Younger us, are always unprepared.

Some day, I will go, and so will you. It doesn't matter.
What matters is to always be on your guard; not for his visit to you, but for him coming more regularly to take away more and more of what once belong to you.

Life's like that...
People come and go...
