CNN——Aaron Brown, the renowned CNN anchor (also KTW radio, KIRO 7, KCPQ 13, KING 5) who gained prominence for his coverage of the September 11 attacks and his pivotal role in shaping the network’s evening news format, died Sunday at 76, his family said.
“Aaron got to do the work that he loved – and he felt lucky to do that work as part of a community of people who were dedicated to good journalism and who became good friends,” said his wife, Charlotte Raynor.

I’m sad to hear about Aaron Brown, who I thought was a fantastic anchor. Does anyone know what happened with his KIRO News co-anchor, Gary Justice?
Kiro Anchor Gary Justice Leaving Television To Pursue Second Career
Sep 20, 1994
Chuck Taylor-Seattle Times
Longtime Seattle anchor Gary Justice said yesterday he will leave television at the end of the year to pursue a second career at an estate-planning business that emphasizes charitable trusts.
Justice, who anchors the morning and noon news on KIRO-TV (Channel 7), will end a 22-year stint at the station around Christmastime.
“At age 52, I figured I had only one more opportunity to go off and do something exciting,” Justice said.
Justice will work for James Feek Corp. of Seattle, an independent insurance brokerage. He has known the company’s president, James Feek, since the 1970s and is in a six-month transition during which he has been learning the business.
Off topic, I remember Chuck Taylor when he worked at KUJ. It was a summer gig when he went to Whitman College.
Sad to read. I remember him at KING and also KIRO. He had a very professorial style, as a opposed to Dan Lewis type delivery.
