‘Heart of gold’: Darren Orme’s family pay tribute

The family of Darren Orme have paid tribute to him.

On March 24, police recovered his body following a search in the Stadium Way area of Wigan.

When he was reported missing on March 5, supporters, the town and its respective football and rugby league clubs rallied in the search for the 54-year-old amid a huge public response.

Darren from Wigan has been described by his family as having a ‘heart of gold and a beautiful soul.’

Greater Manchester Police thanked the public for their support in enabling the search teams to carry out their work, and to everyone who shared their appeals in efforts to locate Darren.

Officers do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding Darren’s death.

Darren’s family said: “Darren was a loving brother with a beautiful and infectious smile, he was truly the glue that held our family together.

“He had a heart of gold and a beautiful soul, he always saw the good in everyone. He was confident yet quirky but also vulnerable in his own way. He possessed a playful and mischievous character.

“Darren loved his football, and he was a passionate Wigan Athletic fan. We’ve always described Darren as Latics royalty, and these past few weeks have really shown our family just how much he means to our community.

“The messages of support and efforts to search for him have been truly amazing.”

“Darren meant the absolute world to us, he will be greatly missed by his family and all of us that knew and loved him.”
