No, Kayce Dutton is still alive, as shown in Yellowstone S05E06. Also, it's impossible to say for sure whether he will die or not because of how uncertain the future is.
John Dutton, the head of the Dutton family, has a young son named Kayce. Initially the "black sheep" of the family, he earns John's trust after the passing of his brother Lee Dutton. Kayce began his employment at the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch and later succeeded his father as the Livestock Commissioner. Kayce and his wife Monica had another baby in the fifth season of the show. But the infant passed away soon after birth, breaking Kayce's heart.
Kayce returns to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in "Watch'em Ride Away," the fifth episode of season 5, to assist with the yearly branding of the cattle. After having thought about leaving his position as the Livestock Commissioner, he is eager to get back to work on the family ranch.
As the episode comes to a close, Kayce, Tate, and the other Duttons ride into the sunrise. The group travels for at least a few days as they make their way to the cattle branding event.
Who is Kayce Dutton?
Kayce Dutton is the son of ranch owner John Dutton and his wife Evelyn Dutton, who is married to Monica Long. He is a horseman and ranch hand. He is portrayed by Luke Grimes, with Rhys Alterman appearing in several flashback scenes as a younger version.
On April 24, 1990, Kayce was born into a family of ranchers. His ancestors had already settled in the area around Yellowstone before his father, John Dutton, came into possession of the ranch. Three more children were born to John and Evelyn Dutton, giving Kayce two brothers, Lee and Jamie, and a sister, Beth.
When he was young, his mother passed away. She fell off her horse while riding with Beth and Kayce on March 30, 1997. Kayce, who was still quite young, did everything he could to save Beth when she went in search of assistance, but it was too late; by the time her husband found her, Beth had already breathed her last. Later, Kayce married Monica Long, the sister of Robert Long and the granddaughter of Indian elder Felix Long, to begin his own family. Living on the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, Kayce and Monica had a son they named Tate.
While their oldest son, Tate, was in his teen years, his wife Monica was expecting their second child. He accompanied his mother to the hospital as she prepared to give birth, but they were involved in a car accident. Although she gave birth to a son, whom she and Kayce named John, he passed away soon after, most likely as a result of complications brought on by the accident.
