Matthew P. Hickey

I am so incredibly saddened at Matt's passing... but at the same time, I can't help get a smile when I think of all the happy memories I have when I think of Matt. We started out together at Hearst-Jaffe (in 1995)and rose through the ranks as researchers, pitch writers, producers and directors. I sat across from MAtt for over a year-- and LOVED reading whatever he wrote (and hoped I could, one day, write as well as him). His acid wit always gave me a laugh, too. Watching him build a company...

When I worked with Matt, I was the newbie. He always offered help, a kind word and any support I needed on my shows. He was quick with a joke, welcoming and he even filled in the "tribal knowledge" on the company when politics loomed large. Even in that limited, professional sliver of his life – he touched mine. My heartfelt condolences to family and friends.

Matt touched so many people here in Los Angeles through his formidable talents as a producer and writer; his kindness and generosity; and his sharp wit. He will be deeply missed.

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU. WE PRAYED FOR MATT EVERY DAY OVER THE LAST YEAR. HE HAS BEEN CLOSE TO US IN OUR HEARTS. WE ARE VERY SADDENED TO HEAR OF HIS PASSING. HE IS IN GOD'S ARMS NOW. HIS MOTHER FAMILY AND FRIENDS, SHOWED HIM GOD'S LOVE WHILE ON THIS JOURNEY. JUST A LITTLE GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH.

Paul,Diane and Family
