Radio broadcaster Darren Scott has died after a lengthy battle with stage four cancer.
Darren passed away at the age of 61 following a lengthy battle with stage 4 malignant melanoma, radio station HOT 102.7FM confirmed in a statement on Tuesday.
His colleagues have paid tribute to the radio star, describing him as a ‘dedicated’ broadcaster who always made others ‘laugh’.
‘Darren was the most dedicated radio person I’ve ever known,’ HOT 102.7FM Breakfast presenter Simon Parkinson said.
‘At one stage he was doing two live shows a day — breakfast in one province and drive in another. Who does six hours of live radio every day? Darren Scott.’
‘When we started the original HOT brand, Darren was the first person I called. And he said, ”I’m in. Let’s go”,’ HOT 102.7FM founder Lloyd Madurai recalled. ‘And I saw the happiness in Darren again.’
His friend and colleague Ian F added: ‘There was never a moment together without a funny chirp or a laugh.’
His close friend of 15 years Will Scott praised Darren for inspiring him to pursue a career in radio himself.
‘Darren was my best friend for 15 years before we ever worked together professionally,’ he said.
‘He played a huge role in me pursuing a career in radio. When his son Mark was born, Darren walked around with a smile for two years.
‘And even when things got tough, he kept fighting for his family. He was the most talented broadcaster I’ve ever worked with.’
