Support for Rob Hickey's Family - A Dearly Loved Thespian!

$2,300 donated
Given by 24 generous donors in 6 weeks

This is to help Rob's family through this devastating loss.

Hawke's Bay

On Saturday 4th February, Rob ended his life here on earth with us.

Rob was kind, funny, charismatic, ridiculously talented and loved by everyone he knew. He produced, directed and played many roles in his life and the stage was his home.

He has left behind his beautiful niece, who is trying to cope with this sudden and devastating blow, along with his close friends and fellow thespians who are all trying to come to terms with Rob's passing.

I have set up this page to rally around Rob's family and friends during this difficult time. Any koha or donation made would be greatly appreciated 💙

We love you Rob.

"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely Players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts."
