Grownin up in Seattle during the 1970s and 1980s, Aaron Brown was a regular on KING and KIRO TV.

Brown was a real journalist and reported the news with a quirky sense of humor and wit.
He was not one of the agenda driven narrative-pushers so common in cable and online news today.

God bless Aaron and his family. We corresponded from before the 9/11 attacks. People often think journalists are immune to events such as these. He was devastated and horribly afraid for his family, co-workers, city and nation. He was center-left, or so I believe. It was hard to be certain. He tried so hard to be fair.He was a good man, so caring when my region was utterly devastated in hurricanes. He put the word out, reading from our front news pages; holding up photos of our devastation. He cared for us when we lost loved ones. He was one in a million. I ask God’s love on his family... his wife of decades, his little girl and her family. He was my friend. God rest his soul.

I watched him as I grew up in Kent. He was reasonable, amusing and amused, and a decent guy. As a budding radical conservative, I could tell he was left of me, but not wacky in any way. He mostly delivered news without noticeable slant.

Good guy.

May his memory be a blessing.

He was a regular anchor for ABCs’ World News Now, from the beginning.
