It's interesting that you see it that way. In some religions (Judaism included, which based on the third line of his website, I'm assuming he somewhat ascribes to) dying on one's birthday is considered to be a sign that you lived a full life (Moses is said to have died on his birthday)- something like you've lived all the years allotted to you, small comfort to those that lost you when that's only 6.00125 years.
