How do I set it to where it'll say a text in white when a hero dies to all players with a quote or custom message like in witp? as in. "The dreaded death knight of stratholm, Baron Riverdare has been killed."

Plx respond in a way that I can easily understand as I am a noob to map editor, or link screen shots.

How familiar are you with triggering?

You're probably after a trigger like this:
  • Hero Dies Message
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (The + ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + (, +((Proper name of (Triggering unit)) + , has died.))))
If you're new to triggering, you might want to check out the implementation in this example I made to fully understand how the trigger is wired:
