MICHAEL HICKEY Obituary

Michael Patrick Hickey A new journey began for my beloved husband Captain Michael P. Hickey (65) on March 20, 2013. Michael leaves behind his loving wife Jacqueline Hickey of 35 years and 3 children, Michele, Sean, Shane with 6 loved grandchildren. Mike now travels to what he loved best. "Being on the water and FISHING." What a man he was!

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. He was a dear friend of my father, Patrick Watson. They are fishing together, laughing and telling jokes as they always do up above. My heart truly goes out to his family.

From our Sound to the slopes to the sea, you did it all. I'm pleased and honored to have been along for the ride. I'm proud of you for your accomplishments along the way. I'm proud of your children. You went three for three raising them to be strong, well spoken responsible adults.

What experiences you shared with the kids! Me too, and so many others you shared your robust life with. I am proud and not shy about calling myself your brother. Thank you for all you have given us.

Tight lines, calm seas and wind at your stern Captain Cable!

I am so sorry for everyone's loss. We had a lot of fun! Point Defiance Aquarium and Boathouse. Snow Skiing and Water Skiing at the Beach Place. Many wonderful memories with your mom and dad~ they always welcomed us (playing Twister and Passout!) Halloween parties. Oh, and Christmas... How you made Gary and I laugh when you nailed the Flocked Xmas Tree to the floor!!! I am so glad that Jan and I visited you recently at the Beach Place. We shared so many fun memories~ I feel very proud to be known as "Auntie Judy" to Michele, Sean and Shane and your five grandchildren (KellyAnn, Kevin, Troy, Ryan and Justin) It would not have happened without you Mike. Rest in Peace My Friend~ XOXOXO Judy~
