Even the big bang came from death. It was the death of a singularity.... and the end of the universe before it rips itself apart will be heat death if the acceleration of expansion holds. If you get really existential about it, does make sense.
Time does end. Either space gets ripped apart, which means so does time, or everything dies and there is nothing around to observe the passage of time, rendering it useless.
That is ridiculously incorrect. Bodies still orbit the sun, something they would not be able to do without time. Just because there aren't any humans around doesn't mean the laws of the universe cease to exist. Time did just fine before humans were around.
Once expansion overtakes spacetime holding itself together, space will literally rip itself apart and time will end. Time cannot exist without space, and vice-versa. This is exactly the same reason why there was no time before the big bang.

no no no... You've misunderstood, when I said "we", I am addressing anything in general. When matter ceases to exist, time also fades away.
in about 10^12 to 10^14 years, besides black holes, which will slowly evaporate over an even longer period, 10^16 yearsish. The point is, eventually the hubble constant will take over the speed of light for what we can see, and then it will slowly start ripping the largest things apart and slowly work its way down until it's literally ripping quarks apart into muons and gluons and shit. Once those are moving away from each other faster than the speed of light, space itself will either rip apart or fall into a new energy state like an excited electron calming down, either way, space as we know it ends, and with it, time ends.

Time as you know only exists when entropy is high. Once everything tears apart, entropy will die down. And so will time.
