"I'm still processing the fact that I will never see or speak to my brother again in this lifetime," Heaton wrote.

Michael Heaton, 66, was a reporter, features writer, and columnist for The Plain Dealer, an Ohio newspaper. He penned the "Minister of Culture" column for over three decades and was well-known in the journalism space before his 2018 retirement.

Patricia Heaton, who is mourning this tragic loss, shared footage of a "beautiful interview" from 2012 that local outlet WEWS-TV conducted with her brother, whom she called a "very excellent human being."

In the TV exchange, Michael Heaton spoke about his famous sister, his work as a journalist, and their family dynamics growing up.

"People always say, 'Oh, you poor thing,'" Michael said of growing up with four sisters.

But he said he didn't quite see it as a bad thing.

"I got my own room, no hand-me-down clothes, and I dated all their friends," Michael joked.

The special sibling relationship between Patricia and Michael came through as he reflected on his sister, calling the actress a "heavy achiever" as a child—a person involved in multiple clubs who was always a "go-getter.

He also joked that he's responsible for her Hollywood career.

"I have to take credit for all of her success," he jested, explaining how he moved to New York City to work for People magazine, and Heaton later followed him.
