Life, but not as we know it, will probably not die out until the sun's output makes it too warm for life (even extremophiles).
No species has ever lived forever; all have died out to be replaced by other species. Mostly this has happened in what has been called mass extensions some of which have killed off up to 95% of all life at those times. There is a better than gross chance homo-sapiens will die off as a product of another mass extension long before the sun has a chance to eliminate our species.
There is also a better than even chance (my estimate) we will be replaced by another species more or less intelligent than us.
In any case the sun is expected to run for another 4 billion years before expanding.
I agree with vorlon13; when I die the universe will cease to exist.
[Edit] On second thought the universe won't cease to exist upon my death, after all the universe managed to do without me for some 13by before I was born and it will continue rolling along unconcerned with my being or not being for another scatyeight billions of years totally unaware that I'm no longer around.[/Edit]
