It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Avi Raitman on September 25, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on February 25, 1960, and lived a beautiful life defined by love, dedication, and integrity.

Avi was the beloved husband of Irina and the devoted father of Eden and Benli, whom he cherished deeply. His family was the center of his world, and his unwavering support, wisdom, and warmth will continue to guide them. Avi’s legacy will live on in the lives he touched, with his kindness, his loyalty, and his strength. His absence will be felt deeply, yet the love and lessons he imparted will remain forever.

Those who knew Avi remember him for his sharp mind, his steady presence, and his generous spirit. He had a gift for connecting with people and always found ways to offer encouragement, bright joy, or a practical hand when it was needed most. His memory will be carried forward not only in the hearts of his loved ones but also in the countless moments of laughter, courage, and care he shared throughout his life.

In honoring Avi’s legacy, the family invites those who knew him to continue embodying the values he held so dear, kindness, generosity, and devotion to family. May his life serve as a reminder of the enduring power of love and the importance of living with integrity and compassion.

Funeral services will be held on September 26, 2025, where family and friends gathered to honor his memory and commemorate a life well lived. The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the community, near and far, for their support and prayers during this time of loss.
