Paul De Meo Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 28 to Mar. 4, 2018.
June 4, 1953 - February 26, 2018 It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected passing of screenwriter and producer, Paul De Meo (64). Paul, along with longtime writing partner and dear friend Danny Bilson, wrote and produced for motion pictures, television, video games and graphic novels including,"The Flash," "The Sentinel," "Viper," the beloved Disney film, "The Rocketeer" and the hit video game, "The Sims." Paul spent much of the last decade as an admired screenwriting professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Paul was a devoted, caring and compassionate husband to Lauren Glassman and father to daughters, Miranda and Annabella. Paul is also survived by brothers, Pete and Michael, sister Sarah, as well as nephews, nieces, and extended family. Paul's enduring kindness, patience, humor, wisdom and gentle heart make him an individual whose sudden loss is indescribably felt by anyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Memorial to be scheduled for a later date.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Paul's passing. I knew Paul many years ago and I'm not sure how even found out about his passing. Mr heart is extended to his family and I wish them strength in the next chapter of their lives. God bless you all. My prayers will include you all. May peace be with you. Sincerely, Kathleen Newcomer Johnson

I first met Paul when I was a junior transfer Theatre Arts student at Cal State, San Bernardino...and I could tell that he was going places. He and his long-time writing and producing business partner, Danny Bilson wrote and starred in a play about a meeting of Harry Houdini and Sherlock Holmes, entitled "The Houdini Deception", starting a creative partnership that lasted 40 years. It was an honor to be his classmate...and friend. God Bless You, Paul...and your loving family.
