Feature description
this is a proposed standard and i know i would find it most useful in tracking people who have passed away.
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6474.html
The base vCard 4.0 specification defines a large number of
properties, including date of birth. This specification adds three
new properties to vCard 4.0: place of birth, place of death, and date
of death.
there just needs a way to input the info into the app.
Why do you want this feature?
as i get older there is an ever greater number of people i know who have died.
this would be a good way to keep track while keeping their info in my contacts
you cant put anniversary in as "death"
needed contacts info is ever expanding for more and more important info.
this is just one step that way

Introduction
The base vCard 4.0 specification [RFC6350] defines a large number of
properties, including date of birth. This specification adds three
new properties to vCard 4.0: place of birth, place of death, and date
of death.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Syntax specifications shown here use the augmented Backus-Naur Form
(ABNF) as described in [RFC5234], and are specified as in the base
vCard specification [RFC6350].
Purpose: To specify the place of birth of the object the vCard
represents.
Value type: A single text value (default) or a single URI value.
Cardinality: *1
Property parameters: VALUE, LANGUAGE
Description:
Format definition:
BIRTHPLACE-param = "VALUE=" ("text" / "uri")
BIRTHPLACE-value = text / uri
; Value type and VALUE parameter MUST match.
BIRTHPLACE-param =/ altid-param / language-param / any-param
Purpose: To specify the place of death of the object the vCard
represents.
Value type: A single text value (default) or a single URI value.
Cardinality: *1
Property parameters: VALUE, LANGUAGE
Description:
Format definition:
DEATHPLACE-param = "VALUE=" ("text" / "uri")
DEATHPLACE-value = text / uri
; Value type and VALUE parameter MUST match.
DEATHPLACE-param =/ altid-param / language-param / any-param
Examples:
DEATHPLACE:Aboard the Titanic\, near Newfoundland
DEATHPLACE;VALUE=uri:http://example.com/ships/titanic.vcf
DEATHPLACE;VALUE=uri:geo:41.731944,-49.945833
Purpose: To specify the date of death of the object the vCard
represents.
Value type: The default is a single date-and-or-time value. It can
also be reset to a single text value.
Cardinality: *1
Property parameters: VALUE, CALSCALE, LANGUAGE
CALSCALE can only be present when the value is a
date-and-or-time value and actually contains a date or date-time.
LANGUAGE can only be present when the value is text.
Description: The presence of a DEATHDATE property indicates that the
subject of the vCard is known to be dead. The absence
of this property makes no statement one way or the
other.
Format definition:
DEATHDATE-param = DEATHDATE-param-date / DEATHDATE-param-text
DEATHDATE-value = date-and-or-time / text
; Value type and VALUE parameter MUST match.
DEATHDATE-param-date = "VALUE=date-and-or-time" / calscale-param
; calscale-param can only be present when DEATHDATE-value is
; date-and-or-time and actually contains a date or date-time.
DEATHDATE-param-date = "VALUE=text" / language-param
DEATHDATE-param =/ altid-param / any-param
