You need reality, however it is not demonstrable that reality will eventually have any need of you.

Any concept of reality that excludes me, or you, or any other fact is not reality. So, reality does need us, to be conceptually correct. Reality is not a thing, it is a concept for all that exists as it exists.

it is a concept

Ancient philosophy recognized that reality exceeded the human capability of comprehensive conceptualization. Thus, a true concept of reality began to involve negative predication as well as predication of transcendence. This has similarities to modern rationalism as, for example, in Kant.

When you die, but for this event, all of reality will remain basically the same, for the rest of us and for all that is inanimate, I'm pretty sure.

Reality is not a thing, it is a concept for all that exists as it exists.

When you trip and hit your face on the pavement, is the pavement real, or is that just your concept?

If you prefer, use "reals" instead of reality, i.e., all that is, really and truly... whether or not you know it.
