Nicholas HOICKA Obituary

NICHOLAS ERIC MCCANN HOICKA November 17, 1994 - September 5, 2022 With profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of Nick McCann Hoicka, beloved only son of Leonora Hoicka and Stephen McCann. An alumnus of the Toronto French School, French American School of New York and Boston University, Nick's comprehensive knowledge of film, current events and history made him a wonderful conversationalist and wickedly competitive Jeopardy! lover. He was an award winning public speaker and accomplished actor, appearing in numerous school and university theatre productions. In the past few years, Nick lived with heart disease to which he finally succumbed despite the efforts of his father and the EMS and Sunnybrook Hospital teams. He leaves and will be dearly missed by his parents and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. His bright candle shone too briefly but made the world a better place. A private funeral will be followed by a celebration of life in the coming months. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sunnybrook Hospital. May memory restore again and again The smallest color of the smallest day: Time is the school in which we learn, Time is the fire in which we burn. -Delmore Schwartz

Dear Leonora and Steven,
Though I hadn't spoken to Nick in many years, I have the fondest memories of working on the musicals in high school together. He sang so well and had such a great stage presence, I truly loved his camaraderie on and off stage. All of my condolences to you, this world has lost a bright light but it shines no matter what.
My deepest sympathies,
Juliette Gobin

Leo and Steve,
We are so sorry for your loss! We only knew Nick briefly, before your grand adventure to the US. He was a special person. Thinking of you, your family and Nick's friends - saddened for a life cut far too short.

It is hard to know why things happen as they do. In the all to brief time you were with us you brought so much joy and happiness to those around you. So much love was centered around you and emanated from you.
While it is hard to accept that you're no longer here, all the happy memories we shared will help keep you in our hearts.
You were and are still loved.

I remember my nephew, Nick as a warm, very smart guy with a fast, sharp humour and knowledge in so many areas that was so extensive for someone his age. Many times I watched him beat both his parents in Jeopardy. I will also remember his skilled performance in high school and Boston University drama productions in a lead role. The loss of a child brings a flood of childhood memories that are painful and joyful. I am thinking of you, Susan
