Christopher Joseph Brewer
Christopher Joseph Brewer
On Friday, March 21
st
we lost Boise’s best-ever radio
broadcaster. Some may know him as
“Chris” from the “Spud brothers,” or “Mad Max”, or even “Uncle Max.” Friends, family and listeners will more
lovingly refer to him as “El Gato.”
Chris was born in San Diego, CA on June 3
rd
, 1962
to parents Gerald Brewer (Wilder, ID) and Maureen Brewer (Ocean Beach,
CA). He was preceded in death by his
hero, his father Jerry, grandparents Andy and Lillian Brewer, and Helen
Daniels, aunt Betty Chigbrow and uncle Chuck Shea. Chris was arguably the funniest, most
intelligent man there was and many in the industry today strive to live up to his
high standards.
He could tell a story like no other and you were never really certain if he was making it up or if it really happened. He left a lasting impression everywhere he went.

He was a very involved father to his four absolutely perfect
children: Kara Elizabeth (22), Amy Jane (16), Molly Ann (15), and Joseph “Joey”
Lee (11). When they asked he gave and he
gave so much the void left behind will be too wide to ever be filled. He loved them more than anything and was so proud
of each of them. It would be a rare
moment to not catch him bragging about each of their individual
accomplishments, no matter how big or small.
Each child benefitted from one of his most dominant traits: Kara and Joey
with athleticism, Amy with showmanship, and Molly with the guitar. They are all in their own way a true
reflection of his unique and powerful spirit.
The only one he loved that could
possibly compete with his children was his cherished and worshipped Black Lab,
Ivey. She refused to play fetch, only
catch, and made one helluva shortstop during family games.
Chris is survived by best friend and mother of his children,
Beth Brewer, sister Becky and her husband Mark Stasi, mother Maureen, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, Andrew
George, and so many, many cherished friends too numerous to mention.
Service will be Saturday, March 29
th
at 11 am at
Alden Waggoner, 5400 Fairview Ave, Boise.
Light refreshments will be served after at the Maple Grove Grange Hall,
11692 W. President Dr., Boise. Dress is
casual and the family requests bright-colored clothing to commemorate this celebration
of life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations on Chris’s behalf to the
Idaho Humane Society.
To order memorial trees or send flowers to the family in memory of Christopher Joseph Brewer, please visit our flower store.
