Nickelodeon Composer Dies in Crash at 63

Guy Moon was best known for his work on “The Fairly OddParents” and “Danny Phantom.”

Guy Moon, an Emmy-nominated composer best known for his work at Nickelodeon, died of traumatic injuries sustained in a traffic collision on Jan. 8. He was 63. Moon worked on several animated shows on Nickelodeon, including Danny Phantom and SpongeBob SquarePants. He was nominated for Outstanding Music and Lyrics at the 2004 Emmys for his song “Wish Come True!” from The Fairly OddParents. His family announced his death on his Facebook page, saying: “As we stand together at the base of what seems to be an insurmountable grief, we are emboldened to grieve him with honor and courage with the tools that he equipped us with in his beautiful life. He has left an unmistakable legacy, and will be profoundly missed by us, his family, and countless others whose lives he impacted.” The composer’s frequent collaborator and Emmy co-nominee Butch Hartman, who created The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, also paid tribute to Moon on his Instagram, calling him “my friend. My brother. My family.” Moon is survived by his wife and three children.
