The Deaths in 2014 site lists under August 26th:
What this reminds me of is a story that my parents often told-- that my mother had a difficult birth with her first born, John, my brother, and because of this they were both dying, and then at about the same time, a priest who was in the hospital -- ill but recuperating, when he heard about the predicament of mother and baby, had said to the priest who had come to visit, that he wished God would take his life in place of the mother and baby. Shortly after that sick priest took a turn for the worst and died, at about the same time my mother and brother took a turn for the better and survived.
John Joseph Nevins, 82, American Roman Catholic prelate, Bishop of Venice in Florida (1984–2007)My brother is named John Joseph, so this is enough to warrant further investigation. Note from Nevins wiki page:
Bishop John Joseph Nevins (January 19, 1932 – August 26, 2014)My brothers birthday is also January 19, hence an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster.
