David Lyle was a rare breed, in our industry and in the world. A true “bon vivant,” he brought light and life into every room, along with a passion for the creatives of this business. Among his many contributions to entertainment, network and television production was his role in bringing together PactUS and the NPA earlier this year as one unified organization, dedicated to harnessing the entrepreneurial and creative spirit of producers in a new age. We will all miss David’s maverick mettle, along with his vitality, brilliant insights and humor, and offer our deepest condolences to his wife Janne, his children Sam, Polly and Joanna, and his many friends and colleagues.

A man full of life. Always with a quip, an insight, a reason to celebrate. A leader who made following fun. Condolences to his family.

David's personality is such that it can never be extinguished -- there are too many great stories and memories. We'll miss seeing him but he'll always be living within us.
