If some people has lots of bitcoin in their offline wallets and they die or lose memory.

Then those coins will be out of circulation right? Or is there any way to recover them?

This happened in the past when bitcoin has no value yet and the owners neglected their private keys or hard disk was destroyed. They never recovered their bitcoins. Thus, there will be less bitcoins to own or circulate that may push the price further up.
