For all those that knew Daz/Smudger, raise a glass for him, and his family tonight.
He was a real good guy, and would do anything for anyone.
Rest in peace big guy, and much love to your lovely family.

Truly sorry to hear this he was a very knowledgeable guy didn’t always see eye to eye with him but he was a good honest person who offered good honest advice and would try and help all . A very sad day indeed, sending best wishes to his family he will be greatly missed RIP smudger 😰😰
-
Gutted to hear this.
Smudger seemed like a top bloke.
Best wishes to his family at this sad time, only 58 too, according to his profile.
A big loss for the forum, always top advice from Smudger.
-
Oh that’s really sad.
When did he pass?
-
So very sorry to hear about Smudger. I remember back in January he posted about an awful leg infection and needing operations.
Very sad we have lost a top bloke and I hope our condolences and best wishes get passed to his loved ones. He really made a difference to the forum members with great help and advice.

He’s also been having dialysis for years, I had few texts back and forth over the years, but nothing this year.
I had no idea he was heading down hill so fast. I was hoping his foot would heal.
Thoughts with his family.

Such sad news. Like you say that leg/foot infection photo he posted was a real shock but never thought it was life threatening the way he was sounding hopeful.
Rest in peace smudger. Always one of the regular names you'd see on nearly every thread when researching for help starting up. And always insightful, good value for money contributions.

??? What a loss so young too
Iam off the forum for a while iam sad and and ped off ???
-
Oh that’s really sad.
When did he pass?
His profile says active today so I'm guessing very recently.
-
Very sad news, hes been part of the furniture here for as long as i can remember. Condolences to his family.
-
RIP Smudger……without doubt one of the most knowledgeable and helpful guys on this forum.
Condolences to the family.
-
Such sad news. I wasn't expecting that one. Over the years Smudger was one of the best and always gave more to the forum than what he took.
-
Diabetes is a terrible disease. I felt sorry for him when I saw the state of that infection.
Always ready to give advice he helped me a lot when I first started.
Smudger and NWH were memorable contributors to the forum
Both sadly lost.
-
Such sad news to hear about smudgers passing.
I have gained a lot of help and advice from his posts over the years,and also had few laughs along the way.
Thankyou smudger for supporting the forum and helping us all
Rip smudger
-
Yes I always found him very knowledgeable and friendly.....
Sounds like he was going through an awful time and had to sell/give away large chunks of his business over the last year or so as well as the terrible physical affects of his diabetes.
58? That sounds like a good age for a man from where I'm from as I know many guys who ve never lived longer than their late 30s/early 40s but I guess it's not the norm in less deprived areas.
RIP smudger
-
So sorry to hear this sad news, my thoughts and prayers for his family.
RIP buddy
-
So sorry to hear this - My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Really terrible news.
Condolences to all family and friends.
Truly a sad day for the forum to say the least.
He will be missed.
-
No way. I can't believe this.
RIP Darren

Shite! RIP Smudger.
Definitely one of those who I looked to and got good positive advice from. He gave more than he took.
-
Wow😳🤯
-
What a shock this was to hear. Always gave sound advice R.I.P Darren

He said his body couldnt get rid of that infection, but you just assume things will work out.
Thats no age to go :'(
R.I.P

That has hit me for 6. WOW if ever there was a person that would respond to the questions we have heard a million times through the years from beginners with a passion and respect question regardless of the times asked. He helped me so many times with advice and selling equipment. I had no idea he was hurting and gutted to hear the news. TOP TOP bloke on this forum who I suggest cannot be replaced. Gunna miss you Darren/Smuger One of the very best and someone we should emulate. He always helped anyone, no matter.............
-
Awful news. As said many times above, he always came across as one of the forums good guys giving out good solid advice gained from his own experience. Thoughts with his family :'(
-
Wow, gutting to say the least.
Darren was always a helpful, likeable chap.
Thoughts are with his family…
-
So sad to hear this , this forum wont be the same without him .
-
The very saddest news to read in this forum ever
Wow, am not sure how we have found this news out but if concept or others on here kept in touch with him u guys would know. For some one who gave this forum so much if u guys can find out if his family is struggling at all as lots on ere, am sure would be more than happy to contribute what they can to help them out.
Like everyone is saying he was always the first to pop up with free helpful advise so it would be fitting for urs to help out if needed.
I seen the pic of his foot but it must of got worse, So sorry for his family

I'm so sorry to hear this. As everyone else has said he was always ready to help people with his knowledge.
RIP Darren
