Mister D: I just received word from BetteHead Katrin that one of our own, Berlin Dirk, passed away a few nights ago after a long battle with cancer. Although I did not know him well he was always eager to share some of his rare footage with us, the BLB community, and asking nothing in return. All he wanted was to put a smile on a Bettehead’s face.
This is very sad and I’m at a loss for words….I believe he was only in his late twenties or early 30’s. To see some of his videos just look under Divine Downloads or search “BerlinDirk” in the Bootleg Betty search engine.
Thanks for listening. All my thoughts and prayers to his partner, family, and friends.
In celebration of a life lived,
Love, Don
What can I say…he was always around, online I mean, and sharing his collection with other fans…May he rest in peace…
I am very saddened by this news. We chatted online occasionally and he was always quick to pass along wonderful Bette music and came across as the nicest person. A truly giving soul. RIP.
Wow, I have seen so many of his uploads on youtube. Even though I didn’t know him I feel like I did, I still feel shocked………RIP
He was funny, gracious, devoted and a divine example of the generosity of Betteheads. Glad he no longer has pain…saddened he is gone
This is such sad news. I never talked to him personally, but I knew I could always count on him to supply wonderful and rare Bette footage. He must have been around my age too. Scary and sad…
Oh my God, i just cant believe it, we talked on msn, and on the facebook, he was so kindd.. omg,
God Bless You Dirk 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 i feel so sad, omg 🙁
To loose a Bettehead is two times sad. Rest in peace.
Loosing a BetteHead bring a sad feeling to me, i hope you rest in pease! :* We will miss you xoxox
This breaks my heart.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.
This is truly such a loss…for all of us.
