Michael J. Feeney, a former Daily News reporter who served as president of the New York Association of Black Journalists, died Sunday of complications from a staph infection in his kidneys. He was 32.
Feeney was set to begin his dream job as an entertainment reporter at CNN.com in Atlanta when he fell ill, his mother said.
"Mike did everything to help everyone," his mother, Reba Willis, said Sunday. "He did whatever he could with any person who he came across who wanted to know anything about journalism and about life."
Feeney had been in Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, N.J., since Tuesday, she said. He went into cardiac arrest at 1:15 p.m.
His death stunned those who knew him both within and outside of journalism circles.
"Just heard that Michael Feeney, young dynamic journalist died," tweeted the Rev. Al Sharpton. "A good brother and fine journalist. Sad news, RIP Michael."
Feeney, a Teaneck native, joined The News in 2009. A year later, he was named the emerging journalist of the year by the National Association of Black journalists. In 2011, Feeney was elected to serve the organization as New York chapter president.
