That's what the verse is saying.First of all, I don't believe anyone is coming back to life once they die. I'm saying that a 'part' of us (our soul, personhood, affect on the lives of other people) doesn't cease to exist once we die.
I would say that that's what the quote is saying. You might say otherwise. And, without contact with the author, we'd both find out what happens after we die long before the ensuing argument is resolved. Religious text tends to be up for interpretation.
What I'm hopefully putting across is that what happens after death is not necessarily an eternal soirée with Jesus according to religion.
