Nadine Brown RIIP, Trousers Smith RIIP and McBride's Mary Jane Kane

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under June 3rd:
Nadine Brown, 83, American Roman Catholic laity, founder of the Intercessors of the Lamb
It appears that the "Brown" pattern-cluster continues, note the following excerpts from Deaths in 2013 during the month of May:
14 ·         Mary Ward Brown, 95, American writer, pancreatic cancer.[315]·         Wayne Brown, 76, American politician, Mayor of Mesa, Arizona (1996-2000).[316]
Two dying on the same day makes it three Browns in just under 3 weeks, and then these other two listed below although nott Brown's, hazel and dun are shades of brown. 
10 ·         Maureen Dunn, 72, American POW activist, co-founder of National League of Families.[389]
23 ·         Hazel Hawke, 83, Australian social activist and National Treasure, first wife of Prime Minister Bob Hawke, complications of dementia.[159]
My thoughts today in regards to the above "brown" pattern-cluster is pretty much the same as when it cropped up in previous months, the meaning of brown is earth/soil which is decomposed organic matter and so essentially it represents death.
While perusing through the Deaths in 2013 site, I also noted that the following had been added under June 2nd:
Ron Smith, 70, American football player (Chicago Bears), lung cancer.
Other than an addition to the "Smith" pattern-cluster, there's the mention of his playing for the Chicago Bears... which is meaningful because I already know the etymology of the word "brown" is  "bruin", an older word for "bear".  Note the following from his wiki page:
Ronald "Trousers" Smith (May 3, 1943 - June 2, 2013) was a professional American football defensive back and return specialist in the National Football League.
There's something about his nick name "Trousers"... reminds me of my Toumai blog, where my February 2, 2010 post involves a little trousers incident: For Adult Audience Only.
Then on perusing the Chicago Bears wiki page I came across a section entitled:
2004–2012: Lovie Smith era
So we have yet another Smith cropping upp... and a lovie one at that.  And note the next sentence :
 Lovie Smith, hired on January 15, 2004, is the third post-Ditka head coach. 
January 15th is a very meaningful day considering this is the birthday of both my son and my partner!!  The day has also formed a major pattern-cluster.  On reading the Bears wiki page further I then noted the following:
Since 2005, the Bears and Browns have met in the final game of the preseason against each other, after the two teams made an agreement to play each other in alternating cities,
This in turn led me to the Browns wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Browns, where I noted the following:
The Browns origins date to 1944, when taxi-cab magnate Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride secured the rights to a Cleveland franchise 
Well, for one, his nickname "Mickey" stands out given that it fits into the "Little/Dwarf/Minney..."pattern-cluster occurring in the last few weeks... so we've also veered off on a bit of a mouse theme what with Minney and then Mickey cropping up, note the etymology:
Mickey Mouse Look up Mickey Mouse at Dictionary.comcartoon mouse character created 1928 by U.S. animator Walt Disney (1901-1966). As an adjective meaning "small and worthless" it dates from 1936, originally used especially of mediocre dance-band music, a put-down based on the type of tunes played as background in cartoon films.
There's also his surname McBride... enough of a heads-up to venture to his wiki page in order to find out if he was married and WHO exactly was his bride, note the following excerpt:
SpouseMary Jane Kane
WOW... go figure THAT!?  The surname Kane fits into the "Reed/Kane/Cane/Khan/Quill" pattern-cluster occurring as of late.
