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.............

[deeege]

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 

[Don Kee]

Wow, gutting to say the least.
Darren was always a helpful, likeable chap.
Thoughts are with his family…

[robert mitchell]

So sad to hear this , this forum wont be the same without him .

[Matt.]

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

[DaveG]

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

RIP Darren
