It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of DJ Danny Stubbs. He was only 40 years old when he lost his battle against cancer. Stubbs, a well-known music producer, was a regular on BBC Radio. In August 2023, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
The doctors delivered the devastating news that Stubbs had stage 4 oesophageal adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer that affects the digestive system. Even more heartbreaking, they informed him that the cancer was inoperable and had already spread to his lymph nodes and bones in his spine. This came as a shock to Stubbs and his loved ones, as he had only been experiencing difficulty swallowing, acid reflux, and hiccoughing, which his wife had thought were innocent symptoms.
In the midst of this difficult time, Stubbs' wife, Danielle, paid tribute to her husband, calling him an incredible man. She shared that it had been a rollercoaster of emotions since his diagnosis, with both extreme lows and highs. After learning that palliative chemotherapy was the only option for treatment, Danielle spoke about her husband's unwavering strength and determination to prove the doctors wrong.
The couple had recently gotten married, just weeks after Stubbs' diagnosis. He had even asked Danielle's father for her hand in marriage before "the unforeseen happened." Danielle shared that her husband's attitude throughout his illness was remarkable. He refused to accept the prognosis and fought with all his might to stay with her. She expressed her love and admiration for him, stating that it was an honor to love and care for him.
Sadly, Stubbs passed away at St Luke's Hospice in Winsford on August 24. He leaves behind his wife, daughter, brothers, and parents. Danielle expressed her pride in her husband's unwavering determination and mentality until the very end. She also shared that she was grateful for the time they had together, but ultimately, it would have been selfish to keep him in pain. She knows he is now at peace and no longer suffering.
Stubbs began his career as a DJ in the early 2000s, performing at clubs and eventually getting residencies at popular venues like Gatecrasher and Ministry of Sound. He also had the opportunity to remix songs for big names like U2 and Lana Del Ray. According to his LinkedIn page, he even had his own monthly radio show in LA called BeatLoungeRadio.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested for donations to be made to Macmillan Cancer Support. They offer support and information for those who have been diagnosed with cancer.
