They weren't really ironic, because for something to be ironic, there has to be a difference between what happens and what was intended to happen by the person in question. So for Noble 6 and Emile, they knew they would die when they volunteered to get on the mass driver cannon. Jorge knew he was going to die when he stayed behind, and I think he knew better than to assume that blowing up one ship would keep Reach safe forever. Once the last level started, everyone (including the audience) knew that Carter was going to die, and he died (the only bit of irony here might be that everyone expected Carter to die from his injuries, not in a suicide attack on a Scarab). Only Kat's death was ironic, because she was the one encouraging everyone to reach safety and ended up being the one who died on the way.
