Michael Darren Hickey

Oct 20, 2022

Michael Darren Hickey passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022, at age 42. Michael was born Oct. 13, 1979, in Nashua, New Hampshire, to Judith Lynn (Dulz) Hickey and the late Robert James Hickey. He lived in the Ashland, Massachusetts, area until moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2015.

Michael had a deep love of being in nature, whether hiking in New Hampshire, scuba diving with his mother or exploring North Carolina with his wife. He treasured living a simple life by spending time with his family, including his cats Siegfried and Gretchen, while watching movies, cooking meals together or loudly educating New England Patriots players and coaches during the season. He brought joy to all through his stories and infectious laughter, and could make anyone groan at his bad jokes.

He is survived by Amy, his beloved wife of seven years, and his beloved mother, Judith Dulz Hickey. Visiting hours will be Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022, from 9-11 a.m. in the Matarese Funeral Home, 325 Main St. Ashland, Mass., followed by a celebration of life on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 30 p.m. at LaCantina Restaurant, 911 Waverly St. Framingham, Massachusetts, www.mataresefuneral.com.
