Michael Hickey Obituary

Michael David Hickey was born October 12, 1961 and went to be with the Lord on September 19, 2007. Mike was in the building industry his entire life and was responsible for the construction of countless commercial and residential projects throughout Tucson. He was hard working, intelligent, a true leader of men, and nobody possessed a greater sense of humor. He enjoyed four-wheeling, NASCAR, spending time with his wife and their beloved animals. Mike touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing him and our loss is God's gain. Mike is in heaven now, where there is no more pain. He is survived by his wife, Sherri; his son, who he adored, Daniel; grandmother, Ramona Claytor; parents, Don and Barbara Hickey; father-in-law, Donald Crater; brothers, Gene and Gary; brother-in-law, Dan Crater (Elizabeth); sister-in-law, Carolyn Reynolds (Don); his special Aunt Milly, and family members too numerous to mention. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, September 25, 2007 2:00 P.M. at BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL , 6910 East Broadway. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arizona Daily Star Sportsmens Fund - "In memory of Mike Hickey" P.O. Box 16141, Tucson, AZ 85732.

Hi Honey, today (19th) is six months since we were torn apart. I know and feel that you are happy and free of all pain and suffering. I am comforted that you are with our Lord and am watching over me. I feel you with me. You know how much I love and miss you, my tears and pain are proof of that. I am not doing well most days but I then think of your smile, laughter and humor that only you had and thank God I was honored to share my life with you. You are still my bestfriend, soulmate and love of my life and always will be. These six months have changed me and I long for you again, so until that day comes that we are reunited I will miss and love you! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I will treasure our memories and love forever. I love you Mikey Davey!

Happy Birthday Mikey

When I think of Mike, a funny story comes to mind. He was my brother Kenny's VERY good friend and when we were in high school, my parents would go down to Mexico to spend time on their boat, of course, Kenny and I would rather stay home and "party"... my parents were gone for Thanksgiving weekend and I was left to cook the Thanksgiving dinner... I had never cooked a turkey before in my life. Kenny, Mike and I sit down for dinner and the turkey was SO dry, but I look over and Mike is chowing down on the turkey leg and going on and on about how "yummy" it was.... I think of him everytime I see a turkey leg now! AND that same weekend, I was left cleaning up the house before the parents come home and I think I've gotten rid of all the beer cans and evidence, when I look over and see a COORS can INSIDE my moms hanging oil light... remember those??? it was pretty funny and I knew.. Mike had been here... Mike was a VERY good friend to Kenny, they seemed to "understand" each other. Mike will be missed by our family very much.

I was very sorry to hear about Mike. We had a lot of good times as teenagers. Sking and fishing in the White mountains, the California trip after high school graduation, working on our Landcruisers, or driving a big dumptruck with Long John Silvers pirate hats on! Mike was always fun to be around. Mike's family is in my prayers, may God bless you.

What a wonderful man Mike Hickey was..He will be missed by so many people. I never saw him without a big smile on his face. He brought laughter to so many of us in the construction industry just when it was needed the most. Be at peace Mikey !!!

Mikey was a part of the Sweeney family growing up. He was my protector in elementary school and my going out buddy when we got older. I have only fond memories of Mikey. My thoughts and prayers are with you Don and Barb.

Mike and I had a love hate relationship. He could make me so mad when we were younger, always getting Kenny in trouble. But some how he always had a way of making me laugh and get over it. He was probably the funniest guy I have ever known. He will certainly be missed.
I can picture him now...feeling like his old self again, entertaining everyone in heaven.
Our loss, heaven's gain.

I share those memories with my family. The response from my kids is one of laughter, happiness and joy . I will treasure them forever. "Mikey" will always be thought of as my best friend. My prayers and thoughts are with you, always.

I remember Mike back as a child and spending time and being around my cousin. One thing he could be was exceptionally funny and always brought cheer to those around him. He will be missed.
