Yeah, unfortunately Robert Jordan did die before he was able to complete the novel. But it is my understanding that he left enough notes behind that the (supposedly) final novel will be able to be finished by another author (according to Wikipedia, it's due out this fall)
This was another series I didn't get into right away, and got daunted by the size of the novels when I finally did take a look at them in the book store (I think the 6th novel had just gotten released). If it wasn't for a friend of mine giving me the 6th book (he gave up trying to read it, because he couldn't follow the plot, having started with the 6th book  ), I probably would never have gotten and read them all.
