Butch Warren RIIP: To Protect

The Deaths in 2013 lists under October 5:

Butch Warren, 74, American jazz bassist, cancer

Both Butch and Warren stand out.  Note the following etymology:

warren (n.).Old French warir "defend, keep," from Germanic root *war- "to protect, guard" (source of Old English warian "take care;" see warrant (n.))

butch (n.) "tough youth," ... probably an abbreviation of butcher (n.). Sense of "aggressive lesbian" is 1940s. 

Well ... some posts have taken on a bit of a gay theme in the last while.  Note the following from Butch Warren's wiki page:

Edward "Butch" Warren (August 9, 1939–October 5, 2013^[1]) American jazz double bassist 

Note the following re his birth day:

August 9 -s the 221st day of the year (222nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 144 days remaining until the end of the year.

Since he was born in 1939, which wasn't a leap year, he was born on the 221st day of the year, hence an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.  The 144 days remaining given the twin 44, falls into the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster.
