Joe Coors Jr., the great-grandson of brewer Adolph Coors and former congressional candidate, died Thursday night from complications from surgery. He was 74.
Coors, a Republican, ran against Rep. Ed Perlmutter for Congress in Colorado’s 7th Congressional District in 2012 and lost.
Coors ran an ad during the 2012 election in which he declared “I’m not a beer.”
Coors, Jr. was easily defeated by Democrat Ed Perlmutter in 2012, in part due to difficulties smoothing out his personal biography for voters. Coors, Jr. was the eldest member of the fourth generation of the Coors family.

RIP Joe. Congrats on missing the apocalypse after all.
This sucks. Thoughts go out to the Coors family.
I can't muster much sympathy except for what I feel when any human runs out of chances to enjoy a sunrise
