Chris Carl Cosby (Beaver) RIIP

On March 22, Chris, my brother in law (more specifically—the partner of my partners brother) passed away.   Note from his obituary, published April 1:

Christopher Carl Cosby : Age 64 of Bayside, passed away suddenly on March 22, 2020 in QEII Health Sciences Centre. Born in Halifax on March 3, 1956, Chris was a son of the late Tess and Lewis Cosby (of Liverpool). He is survived by his partner of 20 years, Wayne Bennett...

First of all, note his initials “C.C.C.”, a twin heads up, given their propensity for generating clusters in groups of 3 or more.  The letter “C” was also strategically designed to contain a cryptic “see sea ci (Spanish for “yes”).  His middle and surname are also additions to the recent and prolific “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster... as in remove the “l” in Carl and the “b” in Cosby, makes “car” and “cosy”.  Note as well that the letter “c” is number 3 in the alphabet... and this connects with his March 3 birthday aka 3/3.  Also that he was born and died in March is significant— an addition to the “Born and Died in Same Month” pattern cluster.

A bit of personal knowledge on Chris that I find interesting, is that he was adopted and his birth surname was “Beaver”.   This is a prompt to investigate further.  On the Beaver/Beavers (surname) wikipedia page four stood out given the following date info:

• Theresa Beaver (30 March 1932 – 9 May 2018)
• Captain Wilfred Beaver (10 May 1897 – 19 August 1986)
• Sir Hugh Eyre Campbell Beaver (4 May 1890 – 16 January 1967)
• Anthony Beavers (born 8 May 1963)  

A “May 4, ..., __, 8, 9,10/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  That “May” is also my first name is also a strategic design influence... and the “4 May” contains a cryptic “$/for May” (the number 4 shares the same key on my keyboard as the $ dollar sign).  So lets bridge the May 7 gap..., using the formula and taking into consideration the “One Off” curve ball we arrive at three: 

1998 – Eddie Rabbitt, American singer-songwriter and guitarist (b. 1941)
2000 – Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., American captain, actor, and producer (b. 1909)
2001 – Jacques de Bourbon-Busset, French author and politician (b. 1912)

And Jackpot!!  The surname Rabbitt hits home big time— I have just gotten off the phone talking with my 3 year old grandson, Manny, where I disguised my voice as the Easter bunny!!  He fell for it completely... it was wonderful and he can’t wait to gather up all his chocolate Easter eggs... and will leave me a big juicy carrot!!  And note the “Animal Theme” pattern cluster.  And note from Chris’ obituary:

His other passion was the love of animals, specifically birds. He was a member of the Canadian Pigeon Fanciers Association

Another tidbit of personal info on Chris is that he also had a rabbit— he rescued it , a tiny baby bunny at the time, that he saw crossing the road, so he took it home to raise.  

Note from wiki pages of the three:

• Edward Thomas Rabbitt (November 27, 1941 – May 7, 1998)
•  Douglas Elton Fairbanks Jr. (December 9, 1909 – May 7, 2000),
• Jacques de Bourbon, Count de Busset (27 April 1912 – 7 May 2001)  

Note from the Rabbitts (disambiguated) wiki page: 

• The Dead Rabbitts, American metal band

Hmmm.  On the bands wiki page I didn’t find any Rabbitt’s, butt I did find a Mabbitt?!  An addition to the “Rhymes” pattern cluster.  Note from the bands wiki page: 

The Dead Rabbitts are an American metalcore supergroup from Phoenix, Arizona. The band is a side project of Escape the Fate's lead vocalist, Craig Mabbitt 

Note from Craig Mabbitt’s wiki page: 

• Craig Edward Mabbitt (born April 9, 1987) 

TODAY is Mabbitt’s birthday, another addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster.

Given the recent “John...” pattern cluster, I also investigated the “John’s” on the March 3 wikipedia page, and one in particular stood out:

1940 – Jean-Paul Proust  (3 March 1940 – 8 April 2010)21st Minister of State of Monaco 

Note the “roust” in Proust.  And the anniversary of his death was YESTERDAY!!  

Also interesting is that Chris is Canadian... AND the beaver is Canada’s emblem:

 “An Act to provide for the recognition of the Beaver (Castor canadensis) as a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada” received royal assent on March 24, 1975. 

I also investigated the surname Rabbitt:  

Rabbitt: This unusual and intriguing name is of early medieval English origin, and has two possible derivations, both from Old Germanic personal names. Firstly, Rabbitt can be a diminutive form of Tabb, which is a short, "pet", form of the male given name Robert, a Germanic name composed of the elements "hrod", renown, and "berht", bright

As a final, perhaps we need to investigate the “March Hare”!!
