Death has no calendar

Today I saw an interesting T-shirt with the words 'death has no calendar' neatly written across the front. I had to pause and think about it for a moment. What does it mean? If death has no calendar then there is no season of life for dying and therefore, no season for living. Wouldn't it make more sense to say Death has no appointment book or schedule? I thought it must have been a recently coined phrase. However, it turned out that 'death has no calendar' is an actual English proverb. (I learnt something today :).
