A longtime Bowling Green, KY personality Darrell Duvall died Wednesday after a battle with cancer.

He was 60-years-of-age, according to The Daily News.

Duvall hosted “Mornings With Darrell” from 9 a.m. to noon on WKCT 930 AM. He also worked for Classic Rock WDNS.

Duvall began his radio career in the 1970s in Leitchfield at WMTL, where he met John Asher, now the vice president of communications at Churchill Downs, and George Lindsey, now the operations manager at Alpha Media Louisville.

“I can’t come up with a better description of Darrell than one-of-a-kind,” Asher said.

Lindsey met Duvall when Lindsey started at WMTL at 15 years old. Because Lindsey wasn’t old enough to stay in the station alone, Duvall sat with him at night so he could be on the air and learn.

“He loved to put on the persona that he’s a curmudgeon,” Lindsey said. “He was a curmudgeon at 20. ... Darrell was the most unexpected friend that a person could have. He was kind of gruff and you’d just think, ‘Who was that guy?’ That guy revealed that he had one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever known.”

“He had a personality that was big enough to fill a room and big enough to fill a radio station,” Lindsey said.
