Most definitely. Really, many of the real life examples are "yep, this is a good guy who died eventually."

Removed from the Futurama example:
- Not so rare. At least one other episode Bender explains his sympathy for turtles; just like the poor little reptiles, if he gets flipped on his back he can't get up. All those times Fry totally saw him get up when he was on his back? He was just enough on his side to manage.
- That's from earlier in the same episode. His love of turtles doesn't come up before that.
Because, it's natter (and, as the second comment points out, the first comment is incorrect and should have been removed in the first place instead of elaborated upon)

- Possibly Lucrecia to a lesser extent. Your Mileage May Vary, particularly with the additional info gleaned from Dirge Of Cerberus.
Seems to me one of the essential components of this trope is dying (or otherwise removed from ordinary life) young. While exactly what constitutes "young" for this trope is arguable, I would say that the 74-year-old Fred Rogers (in the Real Life section) was well past what anyone would consider sufficiently young for this trope, and thus does not qualify. Thoughts?
