Sad to hear, RIP Dutchy

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's long since left Edmonton, but he's still a legend in this town and I thought it deserved it's own thread, RIP Dutch.

Darren Dutchyshen: 1966 - 2024 - TSN.ca

We will be honouring Dutch here at TSN over the coming days, as some of his closest friends and co-workers will share their stories about what made him truly one of a kind.

Sorry for missing the other thread if the Mods want to merge this one. Just shocked and sad.

RIP Dutchy. No one did it better

 

[BlackDogg]

Wasn't expecting this.

 

[Okanagan]

Damn, I have fond memories of him on Edmonton TV and TSN over the years. RIP Dutch.

 

[Fourier]

Dutchy was great. This is really too young. I thought he had won his battle.

"Beat him like a rented mule"

RIP Dutch

 

[Da McBomb]

Sad news indeed. Loved watching Sportsnight on ITV at 11:00pm everynight... him and Hallsy on Mondays were great. RIP Dutchy

 

[snag]

just heard on the radio. damn that sucks. I remember as a kid forcing myself to stay up to watch Sportsnight.

Let this be a reminder guys....don't ignore shit that don't quite feel right and get checked to cover that which you can't feel. I lost my grandfather to prostate cancer (it metastasized and ravaged him). My FIL just finished radiation for it late last year and shortly after his diagnosis, my BIL's brother got tested and sure as shit....he had it.

It can be as simple as a blood test these days. It may not feel macho....but surviving is a helluva lot more macho than dying!!

Super talented loved his 30min sports program on itv back in the day.

RIP Dutchy

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Damn. Grew up with him on ITV as a kid before TSN. Way too young. RIP Dutchy

Once a year after 40 guys, whether you feel you need it or not... full checkup... and yeah, it's a lot easier these days. A bloodtest is usually all that is required for both prostate and colorectal screening. Just make sure to ask for both (and all the other routine cholesterol, liver enzymes, etc).

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

he was awesome on ITV back in the day, and was the best TSN anchor by far
RIP Dutchy

I am 47. After my FIL and by BILs brother I asked my doctor during my phsyical when he was doing up the standard bloodwork. I asked for my PSA to get checked. He said, "you don't need it until 50".

I said, "Listen, I lost my grandfather, almost lost my FIL and my BILs is going through hell right now watching his brother after we watched our FIL fight....I want it checked".

So also as another reminder.....be your own advocate!!!

Sad, too young. He was great.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Dutchy is an announcer with a long stick from time to time. He'll score one for the Oil tonight from heaven.

 

[Anemia]

This one hits me in the feels, damn. Like a lot of us apparently I grew up watching him on ITV. He knew how to keep it entertaining. Met him a bunch of times, really nice guy. Lifelong Oiler fan no matter where he resided. RIP Dutch.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

RIP Dutchman. A great Sasky boy who was the best at what he did. I watched him through early days at STV in Saskatoon and followed his career knowing from those early broadcasts that this guy was special. A true original in his delivery with a wicked sense of humour and mischievous spirit. The Pride of Porcupine Plains.

 

[brentashton]

I am in the Edmonton area today and the sky is crying.

f*** off cancer.

Dutch is gonna make many people in heaven laugh an awful lot. RIP.
