Edward Joseph Weinman

Edward Joseph Weinman, 85, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, in Houston, Texas surrounded by his loving family. Ed was born in the Bronx, New York in 1940 to Al and Annie Weinman. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science, Columbia University, and Boston Medical College. He completed his internal medicine residency at New York University and a nephrology fellowship at Yale. Ed served in the United States Air Force at Tinker Air Force base. Throughout an esteemed career spanning over 50 years, Ed held faculty positions at medical schools throughout New York, Texas, California, W. Virginia, and Maryland. He was a member of numerous professional societies and organizations and published countless scholarly articles, book chapters, peer reviews, and editorials. He was a frequent presenter at national conferences, grand rounds, and as a visiting professor and remained dedicated to sharing his passion for kidney research to many generations of physicians over the years. Ed was a teacher, mentor, and role model to many and a friend to all as evidenced by his many recognitions as Teacher of the Year. In addition to many other awards and accolades, in 2010, Ed was extremely honored to receive the William S. Middleton award in recognition of his outstanding scientific contributions and achievement for his research into the NHERF-1 protein. This annual award is the highest honor awarded by the Veteran’s Association in the area of biomedical science. Ed was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Frank. He is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 38 years, Sandy; his daughters Jennifer (Craig) and Veronica (Stuart); his stepchildren Christopher (Emily) and Amy (Kevin) and his 12 grandchildren, Abarrane, Brady, Cormac and Kara Henderson; Holden, Dylan and Josie Zisman; Kate and Ethan McMinn; and Harrison, Gavin and Baron Sager who all affectionately called him “Paga”, along with many life-long friends who will sorely miss Ed’s contagious grin, dry wit and genuine interest in those he cared about. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in honor of Edward J. Weinman, M.D. to the National Kidney Foundation (https://support.kidney.org/give/459746/#!/donation/checkout).
