Old Lyme — David Michael Hickie, 56, of Old Lyme, passed away July 10, 2023. He was born Oct. 26, 1966. David was a beloved husband to Suzanne Wnek, and a loving father to Kate and Quinn. He is also survived by his brother, John Hickie; and his sister, Patricia Danaher; along with his nieces and nephew who considered him their favorite uncle, according to Dave. David was preceded in death by his parents, Ted and Olive Hickie.

Dave was a dedicated Chief Financial Officer at Republic Holdings Corporation for over 20 years where he was highly respected for his expertise but more importantly his humor and kindness that was felt by all.

Outside of his professional life, David had a passion for golf. He spent many enjoyable hours on the golf course, engaging in friendly competition and creating lasting memories with his friends and family. He was also an avid fan of Irish Rugby, travelling all the way to Japan to support his favorite team.

Dave was incredibly generous, kind, and gracious. Once you met him, you never forgot him. He genuinely cared about his children’s interests and encouraged them to live their life with kindness and curiosity. He often took an evening swim with his daughter Kate at their beloved White Sands Beach no matter the weather. Most recently Dave was able to share the experience of his son Quinn’s first legal pint of Guinness in Ireland.

He appreciated spending time with loved ones near and far and was always ready for a good chat. His presence brought joy and laughter to those around him.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 15, 2023, in Christ the King Church, 1 McCurdy Rd., Old Lyme. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you perform an act of kindness in Dave’s memory. Please visit www.fultontherouxoldlyme.com for tributes and directions.
