Mike Rowe Instagram – See You on the Other Side I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Fred Hurt. Like many who watched “Gold Rush,” I felt like I had come to know the man they called “Dakota” Fred, and I guess Fred felt as though he had come to know me as well. I assume this to be the case because Fred’s family – as you’ll see below – has encouraged his many fans to make a donation to the mikeroweWORKS foundation in honor of Fred’s memory. “Flattered” is not the right word to describe my reaction, though it’s hard not to feel flattered under the circumstances. “Humbled” is maybe a better choice, but that’s not quite right either. Perhaps a combination of the two? “Flumbled,” perhaps? If there were such a word, I’d say to the Hurt family that I am indeed, “flumbled” that you wish to honor Fred’s memory by supporting @mikeroweworks of a man who didn’t even know your loved one.
