Dewey's battled cancer off and on for a long while from what I've gathered. And Kurt's mom also battled cancer IIRC... Sonia's family hasn't been immune either, which is why he's been a part of the last few cancer skates that have been televised (I guess just the last couple)... he mentioned his dad's battle with brest cancer - bringing awareness to the lesser known.

My deepest sympathies to Kurt, his family, and everyone else fortunate to have met Dewey in person. I can't think of too many other skating parents who received a tribute on national TV after passing away, and I think both Kurt and the CBC handled it as classy as they could.
From all accounts--including Kurt's--Dewey was an incredible man who will be missed very much.

Dewey Browning was a wonderful man, and will definitely be missed.
According to Kurt's agent, contributions in his honor can be made to:
Rocky Mountain House Hospital and Care Centre
5016 52 Ave.
Rocky Mountain House AB T4T 1T2
Kurt spoke about his father's battle with breast cancer in this interview and mentioned that his father was a 3x survivor in the Frosted Pink broadcast last fall.

side note: I'm rereading Kurt's autobiography, and Dewey wrote several 'footnotes' in the book. You can tell in the way that Kurt tells the stories just how proud he is/was of his father, and how close the two are.

When it was announced on CBC's coverage of CoC that Kurt's father had passed away only a few days beforehand, I was not surprised at the news since I was aware that Dewey had cancer, but I was shocked that Kurt managed to stay focused and lively during the commentary. When my grandfather passed away unexpectedly (unlike the rest of my control-freak family, he was actually gentle with me), I couldn't concentrate on anything for a couple months afterwards. I don't know how Kurt did it, but I think it was very gutsy of him to put on a face in front of TV cameras when deep down he was really hurting. My heart goes out to both him and his family.
