I was never a fan of his style for speedway, but this is incredibly sad news for someone so young, with a family and still so much to look forward to. Absolutely no doubting Pearson's enthusiasm and relentless cheerfulness - perfectly suited to the world of darts, where he was the master commentator. RIP.

RIP Nigel Pearson
We as a team at Speedway Updates have decided to dedicate one of the Heats (Heat 14) to Nigel. The Voice Speedway shall never be forgot. Whether it was Bomber's Win at Cardiff or Max Fricke's superb ride at the NSS or even the Darts. That Voice was like no other. Thoughts with Nigel's Family and Everyone who knew him at this sad time.

Very sad news.
I only got to work with him on the programmes for a few weeks. That he gave me the chance, his encouragement and enthusiastic response meant a lot. I have seen a number of comments on social media from people saying Nigel was the one who gave them their first chance, or who opened a door for them too. We need more people with that attitude in the world.

What terrible news to start a new speedway season. Completely shocked by his untimely passing of someone so young and full of energy.
Had Nigel been unwell ?
Condolences to his family and friends

Condolences to his family and friends RIP Nigel The BSPA said it was a sudden illness, I think, so probably cardio related. Sad and shocking passing for his family. RIP Nigel
