Benjamin William Weiss

WEISS: With profound sadness, we announce the sudden death of Benjamin William Weiss on May 30, 2024. Benji, only 23 years old, was tragically hit by a car and died while legally walking across a street. Our beloved Benji, so deeply missed by his loving family and devoted friends, is remembered as an articulate, passionate, and creative person with a quick wit and wide-ranging interests. Music, theatre, writing, and Dungeons and Dragons were just a few of his passions. Benji loved learning in so many different fields, from popular culture to mythology. Benji was strongly committed to the well-being and rights of the LGBQT community. Benji, who grew up in Pittsburgh, is profoundly and forever missed by his father Jim Weiss, mother Vered Lewy-Weiss, his brother, Michael Weiss, and by Benji’s favorite adorable dog, Addison. Extended family and many friends have shared treasured memories and stories about Benji, with abundant tears and laughter. A Celebration of Life service for Benji will be held in the Spring of 2025. If desired, the family suggests donations to Paws across Pittsburgh (pawsacrosspittsburgh.com), The Trevor Project (TheTrevorProject.org), or any charity of your preference. Benji will forever burn brightly in our hearts. May his spirited life and memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. schugar.com PJC
