Although it was absolutely hell for us when my much-loved father-in-law died suddenly of a massive stroke at age 56, we took comfort in the fact that he'd have *hated* being incapacitated in any way. For him, it was the best resolution of a horrible situation.
Much love to your dad, for having to live that, and to you, for having to deal with it all.
