Steven Mark Weiss

Weiss, Steven Mark
December 11, 1946 - March 22, 2013
The family of Steven Mark Weiss, 66, mourn the loss of their beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother, who we lost March 22nd. Steve was a literary and TV agent at The William Morris Agency for 35 years, starting in the New York Office and then the bulk of his career in LA. He was best known for his representation of Diane English and the packaging of the long running series Murphy Brown. But what he was known best for, as the hundreds of condolences state over and over again, is his gentleman's spirit, his honest approach to his work and his kindness and mentoring to all he came in touch with through this tough business, we call the Hollywood Industry. He is survived by his wife Amy Weiss, manager and Executive Vice President of Business Affairs at Brillstein Entertainment Partners; by his father and mother, 95 and 90, respectively, Louis P. Weiss, Chairman of the Board, Emeritus of WMA and wife Alice; by his three children and their respective spouses, Aaron and Rachel Weiss, Brian Weiss, and Lauren and Brad Lundy, and their mother, Rita; by his four grandchildren, Caleb and Ayla Weiss, and Cayden and 5 month old Sienna Lundy, and by his siblings and their respective spouses Jeffrey Weiss, Ann and Richard LaGravenese, and Evan and Gayle Weiss. During his five year battle with Myeloma, which he was in full remission from at the time of his death, he and his wife Amy were very proud to have raised substantial sums working on the yearly Gala for The International Myeloma Foundation. Sadly, a second cancer is what took his life.
A service will be held 1pm this Wednesday March 27, at Beit T'Shuvah Synagogue, 8831 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90034 and Shiva at 7:30pm Thursday at his and Amy's home. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to: Beit T'Shuvah (http://www.beittshuvah.org/Donations) or the International Myeloma Foundation (https://online.myeloma.org/NetCommunity/SSLPage.aspx?pid=285).
