Dr. David Lehrman's Obituary
Dr. David Lehrman was taken from us in his home surrounded by his loving family in Miami Beach. He was defined by - and his life was devoted to - rescuing those in debilitating pain. An acclaimed surgeon with mountains of accolades, certificates, degrees and accreditations, his most treasured possessions were the thanks of his grateful patients.
He was elegant, empathetic, suave, warm, caring, loving, giving, intuitive, insightful, and funny. Most of all charming! Dad faced nearly everything in life with a smile, and was always there for others enduring that which could not be borne with a smile.
He was a role model, led by example and got me through more than I can ever recount - but will never forget. Much of what I am praised for (such as it is) is attributable to Dad. He survived losing the love of his life, and was still grateful for the ride.
I’m grateful for the ride, too, and thankful it lasted this long, although I admit to wishing it could have lasted longer. Mom knows we love her but give her an extra dose, and start tearing up heaven.
Love you always
Dad is survived by his sons Richard Lehrman (Sheila Duffy-Lehrman),
Steve Lehrman (Aleida Martinez-Molina), Michael Lehrman, Robert Allan Lehrman, grandchildren; Jonathan Lehrman, Bryan Lehrman, Joshua Duffy Lehrman, Adam Harrison Lehrman, Daniel Bradley Lehrman and Lexi Lehrman.
