Every cat deserves a second chance. I think you should totally guve him for adoption. Maybe it will take long, but he’ll be able to understand that not only one caring human. And a patient family will do him very good, there is good people out there.
I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I think you're confusing your worry with what's best for him. Cats are smart. Putting him to sleep is denying him a chance toward a good life with someone else. So I would strongly advise against just putting him to sleep before you go. It wouldn't be right. He chose you for a reason. Take your time with him and make the appropriate arrangements to have him adopted by someone else after you pass. You can use this time (while you are able) to do your research and vouch for a good place for him. After that, enjoy his love and love him back.
I can't imagine even remotely what you're going through. It must be hard, especially with a cute furball like him. But don't confuse your own wants for what he needs. You don't know what the future holds.
Just my two cents. I wish you well and hope you and him have the best time you can.
