The actor describes his fellow Scot as a 'brother in arms' and says he has been left devastated by his death.
He said Campbell Danesh was always "armed with a smile".
The Paisley-born actor added: "He was an incredible talent, a singer whose voice touched your soul and an actor with great presence. "But, most importantly, he had the heart of a lion. It was bigger and brighter than the sun and an energy so contagious he could light up a room in seconds.""But a bigger constant was his dream to inspire others to better themselves," he said."He had such purity of thought, a deep wisdom and constant gratitude for people, for life, a compassion towards all."
Butler added that Campbell Danesh's commitment to his family, friends and the world made him "the perfect friend". Ariel Vroman, director of The Iceman, replied to the post, saying: "Amazing words my brother - we will miss Darius a lot."
