Eric Leibowitz Obituary
Eric David Leibowitz, age 78, of Media, PA, passed on November 2nd, 2025. He was born in Brooklyn, NY, and resided in Massachusetts for almost 50 years before moving to Pennsylvania to be closer to his cherished grandchildren. Nothing was more important to him than his family.
Eric had a strong faith in God, which helped him guide his family and all he did, especially his work in helping others as a psychotherapist, his field of practice for almost 50 years. It also inspired his incredible generosity. Eric always looked for ways to help family, friends, and others in need.
Eric loved baseball his entire life and was an avid Mets fan through their ups and downs. He also excelled at photography, loved reading Science Fiction, and listening to music. In his younger days, he loved a good New York pizza.
He is predeceased by his parents, Sherry (nee Kass) and Mitchell Leibowitz.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth (nee Weiss) Leibowitz; his sons, Michael (Joanne) and Gabriel; his grandchildren, Harrison, Oliver, and Zoë; his sister, Stefani Rifkind (Shaul); and his nephews, Eli, Noam, Joseph, and Brian.
