DOUGLAS LEHMAN Obituary

LEHMAN--Douglas. Taken too young from us in his 50th year. Beloved husband of Haley, cherished and deeply loved father to Sophie, Stella and Jonathan, adored son of Brenda and Burton, precious brother to Steve (Melinda), dear son-in-law to Andi and Steve Levine and brother-in-law to Jil (Jordan) Schaps, Randi (Alex) Brook, and Lonny (Jessica) Levine, and cherished uncle to Matthew, David, Julia, Charlie, Sam, Maren, Cameron, Harry, Rowan, Eden, and Willow. Doug was a beautiful human being who was always there for his children and extended family, and carried a warmth, a wry sense of humor and a zest for life that will be forever missed. Born in New York City in 1972, Doug grew up attending The Town School and The Dalton School. After graduating from Duke University in 1994, he worked at real estate firm CBRE, Inc. for many years as Executive Vice President. Doug bravely fought cancer and passed in the hospital in the early morning September 12, 2023. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, September 14, at 9:30am at Central Synagogue, 652 Lexington Ave. in New York City, also live-streamed at: www.CentralSynagogue.org Shiva will be observed at Central Synagogue in the lower Pavilion that evening from 5-8pm and on Friday, September 15 at The Harmonie Club, 4 East 60th Street in New York City, from 12-3pm.

Brenda and Burt, We are sad beyond words to learn of your terrible loss. If there were words to say that would comfort you, we would say them...there are none. Our hearts hurt for all of you.

When I remember Doug, I think smiles and laughter. The memories of Doug at Duke are fond ones. Leaves us way too young but leaves us with a trove of happy memories.

Doug's generous spirit, warm heart and sense of humor touched more lives than he likely realized. To lose him so young is heartbreaking. May you find strength and joy in the memories of a life well-lived.

I was at ESG/CBRE with Doug for many years. He was a kind, friendly and gentle person who had a successful career but most importantly nurtured his friendships with many and was devoted to his family. I was glad to have known him and will not forget him
