Yup. Corporal Upham is probably my most hated character in the history of cinema.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I recall a pretty sad death scene with Jeff Bridges wife on White Squall. I believe they were caught in a storm and the ship sank and she was trapped in a lower compartment and Bridges character wasn't able to save her. He watched helplessly as the ship sank to the bottom of the ocean with her watching.
They didn't really show it, but I thought Costner drowining in Message in a Bottle was pretty sad too.

Which caught me completely off guard considering that character had annoyed me throughout the show and I was hoping he'd be killed off. When it happened I was surprised by how much it affected me. That was a truly heartbreaking episode.

You're right. He was a good person, but there's no room for good in combat. He was responsible, although not directly, for at least two of his fellow soldiers, including his captain, being killed simply because he was weak. In many ways you feel bad for him but you also hate his guts. Don't be such a pussy Upham.

Re: Saddest movie death?
I'll mention Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
And I was also affected by some of the ones mentioned by others above:
The Fellowship of the Ring
Serenity
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (That was utterly shocking when I first saw it in 1969.)
Star Trek II (It didn't have the same impact anymore once the third movie came out).
The Professional
Master and Commander
Most of the movie deaths mentioned by others I haven't seen, in part because I prefer more upbeat stuff.

Silent Running
A tv show but nothing was more sad to me then the episode of Futurama about Fry's dog. I don't even want to say the name if it because it upsets me.

First one I thought of too. I was 12. I think the scene where the husband comes home to find the pot on the stove boiling over and the baby screaming was more upsetting to me than the actual death.

The all time saddest death scene has to be Hooch from Turner And Hooch. You can have all the people in the world die. I couldn't care less. But when it's a dog, that's going to far. I can't watch that movie any more.

I felt that scene was the funniest part of the movie. Well, maybe that or Matthew McConaughey giving advice on how to dispose of a dead hooker
As far as saddest death in Tropic Thunder, I would vote for
