No he did not. None of the hobbits dies. In fact, I think an Appendix referred to the book of LOTR itself being drawn from the Red Book of Buckland which Pippin helped to write.

No he does not. In fact he held the title of Thain, perhaps the most prestigious title the Shire folk acknowledged among themselves, for 50 years. Appendix B, The Tale of Years states quite clearly that both Merry and Pippin travelled to Rohan to attend the final days and burial of Eomer in the year 63 of the Fourth Age. Eomer died in the Autumn of that year and the hobbits continued on their journey to Gondor. Both hobbits died around Fourth Age 64 and both were 'laid to rest in the halls of Rath Dínen among the great of Gondor'.
