Five days before he was to play the Wilbur Theatre in August, Jim Breuer’s father passed away. The two were very close — he’d even made a documentary in 2010, “More Than Me,” about caring for his dad while on tour.

Jim Breuer Sr. was 91 and died not long after a major stroke. His death was expected, and Breuer was happy he could be there for his father to die in his arms.
