Remembering Darren Scott: Heartfelt tributes from friends and family
Friends, family and colleagues have taken to social media to share touching tributes to radio legend, Darren Scott. Scott, 61, lost his long battle with stage 4 malignant melanoma. His death was announced early on Tuesday morning. His ex-wife, Sarah-Kate Accetta shared that there are no words to express her gratitude to all those who donated, prayed and stood beside Scott. "Your generosity through the Back-a-Buddy campaign didn't just fund treatment—it gave Darren hope. It gave him dignity. And it gave him the profound gift of feeling so loved," she wrote. Accetta said she watched Scott scroll through the messages shared from people. "He was in disbelief—humbled, overwhelmed, moved to tears. He couldn't believe that so many people cared. Thank you for giving him that in his final months. As we make our way back home now, to not only commemorate his life but to learn how to face life without him, I ask from the bottom of my heart: please pray for the boys. Their world has changed forever, and we need every bit of strength we can hold onto. I will cherish the opportunity to fill their days with laughter and love, with the many, many wild, wonderful, and unforgettable stories about their dad," she added.
