It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Eric Maxwell Weiner on October 18, 2021 at the age of 32. Survived by his loving wife Jessica Steklof, parents Sue and Howard Weiner, siblings Alex (Rachel), and Allison. In-Laws Amy, Kevin, Michael, and Jason Steklof. And loving and supportive grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Eric graduated from Binghamton University in 2013 with a degree in systems and industrial engineering. He also pursued his passion in beers and fine liquors with the hopes of opening up his own brewery one day.

Eric was diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma in the summer of 2019. Through it all, he was phenomenal in maintaining his positive outlook on life and caring personality.

His family has profound gratitude to the entire team of doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses at the Wilmot Cancer Center, the 7th floor inpatient unit at Wilmot, and the Palliative Care Unit at Strong Memorial Hospital. Their loving, intelligent, and compassionate care helped Eric and his family thru his cancer journey.
