Broadcaster Dylan Willows — known affectionately as Big D — died Tuesday due to complications from cancer. He was 45.
“Dylan’s final days were spent as any other, filled with laughter; love; music and the occasional tease,” his family said in a statement Thursday. The generous response was a testament to the impact Willows had on the city’s arts and culture community, said Stephen Franke and Morgan Brooker, who produced the fundraisers.
Though he was born in Yellowknife, N.W.T., Willows always considered Victoria his hometown. Despite opportunities to return to Vancouver, where he began his career in radio and would have a bigger profile and better salary, he remained dedicated to Victoria and its music community.
