Shitty news. Always liked Dutchie. Too young to go.

 

[joestevens29]

Oh shit didn't expect this one.

Remember him back in his ITV days in Edmonton was one of the first sports guys I watched growing up.

RIP

Very sad.

Rest easy Darren.

Damn he was great. RIP

 

[JackSlater]

Very unfortunate, always liked him on TSN. I remember him talking about his prostate cancer a year or two back on TSN.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Just awful, one of the best. May he rest well.

 

[Frank Drebin]

This was unexpected. Sad news

 

[DitchMarner]

OMG... he died?

Was he sick or something? This is unexpected for me.




RIP.

RIP Dutch … too young

 

[KeyserSoze81]

He was a TSN mainstay when I lived in Canada. Always enjoyed his humor, and sorely miss those days when TSN was such a powerhouse.

Paraphrasing: "Some types of people look good in pin striped suits, and we are some types of people!"

This was unexpected. Sad news

He had been battling cancer for years.

Very unfortunate, always liked him on TSN. I remember him talking about his prostate cancer a year or two back on TSN.

I was shocked because I recall he took a leave for treatment then announced he was back so I thought things were going well. Then didn't hear anything for a while until today.

f*** cancer

No idea he was battling cancer. That really sucks.
Likeable dude

 

[Cup or Bust]

I used to stay up every night until 11 pm to watch Darren on Sports Night on ITV in Edmonton in the early 90's when I was young to see the Oiler highlights. He was just a young chap back then. Probably my favorite sports show TV host ever.

 

[Thirty Seven]

RIP. This is how I remember him.

 

[WTFMAN99]

By all accounts, a very great guy and gone far too soon.

A fixture for sports centre.

RIP Dutch, you beauty.

 

[Bobby9]

LOVE Dutchie. Met him at the 2010 Olympics at Glowbal and he was a blast!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

One of the great ones. RIP.
