Is Gold Rush White Water’s Cast Fred Hurt Okay? His Recent Diagnosis

“Dakota” Fred Hurt is diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. The sad news was announced by his entertainment firm, Thrill of Hunt Entertainment LLC.

While the big medical news can break the toughest men, the 80 years old high spirited man is known to be handling his diagnosis pretty well. In fact, Fred stated that he had had 80 adventurous years of life, and if he recovers from this diagnosis, he will have yet another fascinating story to tell others.

Fred has been working in the television industry for the past ten years. First, his adventure of hunting gold mines was featured in the “Gold Rush.” But at present, he has been on “Gold Rush White Water,” a spinoff of the program Gold Rush on Discovery.

As the news came suddenly, many of his fans were claiming it to be a hoax. However, as Mr Hunt himself shared the news of his Brain cancer diagnosis and captioned it as “Yup, it is true,” the public is now devasted.

The “Gold Rush White Water” viewers and his well-wishers have showered his Facebook comment section with motivational messages.

One of his fans wrote, “Hang in there, Big Boot! You’ll get through this, like everything else you’ve done in your amazing life. And if you don’t, then it just wasn’t meant to be. You’ve lived a GREAT life and been a huge inspiration to all your fans throughout the years, and made your mark on the world. What a legacy to leave behind! Wish we could all be so lucky.”

sending love ❤️ it’s been an absolute joy following your adventures. You’re a great man Fred…enjoy every day to the best you can with your loved ones,” said a lady in his comment section.

Likewise, the other said

“Fred, I am so very sorry for your recent diagnosis. I was also recently diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, fatal in most cases, with the diagnosis discovered totally by accident on Christmas day when I’d suffered a bad fall. I had fractured my back in two places, which turned out to be the lesser of the problems when the doctor reported my “incidental” diagnosis of lung cancer. My thoughts and prayers are for you also, Fred, praying that if a cure cannot find its way to you, a peaceful end can. That is also what I pray for, for myself. Take care and make the best of the time you have left.”

Fred Hurt expressed his gratitude for his well-wishers and said he will always appreciate the folks who have followed his adventurous exploits.
