David K. Brewer ’68

Dave died Oct. 3, 2020, of bile duct cancer.

He was born in Alton, Ill., April 12, 1946, and graduated from Alton High School, where he was class president and valedictorian, on the tennis and junior varsity basketball teams, and a National Merit Scholar. At Princeton he was in the sailing club, ate at Elm, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa.

After Harvard Medical School he spent two years in Cleveland as an intern and pathology resident before moving to Seattle for his radiology residency. He joined the faculty at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital as a pediatric radiologist. He loved taking care of kids and training the next generations of radiologists.

He retired in 2013 to devote his time to reading, caring for his beloved cavalier Dolce, and enjoying the view of Seattle and Lake Union from his and Bonny’s Queen Anne home. He was a kind, smart, gentle man with a wry sense of humor. Bonny and Dolce miss him terribly.

David is survived by his wife of 51 years, Bonny Allgeyer Brewer; sister Jane Brewer Hattershire; and six nieces and nephews. The class extends its profound sympathies to them all.
