Charlie Brown had all the skills morning radio demanded. Boundless energy at 4 a.m.; a stable of goofy, on-air characters like “Clydie-Clyde”; a taste for the outrageous and a way with management that, in the chaotic world of broadcasting, kept him on the Seattle airwaves for more than three decades.
But once he left the studio, Mr. Brown headed for the quieter places, spending time with his family, fishing and crabbing near his home on Bainbridge Island, and pointing out stars in the night sky.
Mr. Brown, a longtime morning DJ at KJR-AM and KUBE-FM in Seattle, died May 11 from complications related to Parkinson’s disease, according to his wife of 38 years, Kimberly. He was 74.
He loved their son, Tag; his two children by a previous marriage, Chad and Shannon, and their cat, Fiona.
Services where in March, when Mr. Brown would have turned 75.
