Mr. Heller grew up in Denver, attending Hillel Academy and RMHA. As an aspiring actor, he was involved in productions at the JCC in Denver. He later moved east to attend Boston University and later relocated to New York.
There, Mr. Heller became a part of the theatre scene and had a variety of positions at theatres and with various productions. He was undaunted by the difficult process of landing stage roles.
“He knew everyone there,” said his father, Dovey Heller. “He had a lot more to give.
“He was a beautiful child,” Dovey continued. “Wherever he went, he made friends with everyone. He never knew a stranger.
“He was a good kid.”
