Love Medicine

Of the chapters we've read, only two are not first person narrative.  These two are the opening with June and the last chapter that focuses on Beverly.  I understand that June's chapter would not be narrated by herself considering her death; however, I find Beverly's more interesting.  Does this perhaps foreshadow his death?  Is it because he is not really part of the family?  Does the third person narration effect us differently than if he had narrated this chapter?
