“There will be no filling the hole in the universe left by Cindy’s departure from this world,” Fishman—who coparented Charles’ son Ben from a previous marriage, as well as his son Sam—wrote in an Oct. 15 post. “She gave love and she received love, building a network of friends unrivaled by any person I have ever known. So many are grieving right now.”

Fishman went on to laud his wife’s impact in her industry, adding, “She was at the top of her game, an icon in the music biz.”

Later, Twitch’s CEO Daniel Clancy echoed Fishman’s sentiment—emphasizing her contributions to the live-streaming video service company. 

“Most of the members of the Twitch community are probably not familiar with Cindy’s work, but she has been leading our team that manages our relationship with the music industry,” Clancy wrote in an Oct. 18 post on X, formerly Twitter, post. “Cindy has a deep history in the music business and she has been critical in creating the strong relationships that we have today.”

He continued, “Anyone that uses music on Twitch owes a debt of gratitude to Cindy’s work. She always had a bright smile on her face even as she negotiated unprecedented music licensing agreements for Twitch including the recent DJ agreement.”
