Yes. Okonkwo is not afraid of fighting or afraid of blood, but he is afraid of having to change. He is afraid of being killed by a white man, so does it himself. For the most parts he is not a coward, but he is a coward in this specific way.

NO NO NO NO NO.... He is not a coward, he is merely afraid of his feelings, they make him feel weak. He wished to be the opposite of his father, a weak emotional man. He kills himself because he was afraid of change and felt that his village was dying/dead.
