LowerCaseRepublican Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 http://www.darrenmcgavin.net/ It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Darren McGavin at approximately 7:10 A.M. Pacific time today, Saturday 25, 2006. Darren was just three months short of his 84th birthday. While we suspect none of us can imagine a world without the beloved, feisty little red-head, it is time to reflect, give thanks for his life and hold in reverence his memory. Darren is gone, but in many respects he will always be with us: as Carl Kolchak, fighting authority and battling monsters; the grumpy Old Man sending curses over Lake Michigan; as David Ross, the outsider, Grey Holden, captain of the Enterprise, the irascible detective Mike Hammer or any number of memorable guest star appearances, most notably as Joe Bascome on GUNSMOKE and as the washed-up old actor from "Distant Signals." Please take a moment in your sadness to reflect upon all the ways Darren touched your lives, say a prayer and raise a glass to toast a career which spanned over fifty years and affected us all in ways too numerous to count.

Kid Gleason Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 From what I have read, it's been a slow death for him. He lost his wife a few years ago, and he just sort of lost the will to live and has been slowly fading ever since then and has always been a little lost without her. There are a few pictures I have seen of him from a birthday party thrown for him just after she had passed. The amount of aging that had happened to him from right before she passed away until those later pictures was rather stunning. Hopefully he is resting well now. RIP Kolchak.
