Dylan Willows, 45, co-hosted the morning show at Victoria radio station The Zone for 16 years

Popular broadcaster Dylan Willows — known affectionately as Big D — died early Wednesday due to complications from cancer. He was 45.

The Claremont Secondary grad stepped away from the job on Feb 15, acknowledging the battle that lay ahead. In March, Willows attended two sold-out tribute concerts at the Royal Theatre in his honour, both featuring bands he championed on-air during his career. They were his last public appearances. Willows, who was born in Yellowknife, N.W.T., moved to Victoria with his family during his elementary school years, and always considered the city his hometown.
