It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of R’ Ari Weichbrod z”l of Lakewood, NJ. He was 43 years old.
Ari had previously resided in Florida, moving to Lakewood in around 2013. He was a Miami Hatzalah member for a number of years.
About seven years ago, R’ Aron made national news when he helped save the life of two children trapped under a car after being hit by a car. R’ Aron, a paramedic, helped another individual who took a jack out of his car to lift a car that struck a 2-year-old and 8-year-old as they crossed a Lakewood street. R’ Aron was later honored at a Lakewood Township Committee meeting.
Ari was a heroic baal chesed. He served loyally on Hatzolah and on Chaveirim for many years, and was still going out on calls just last week to help anyone in need.
R’ Ari is survived by his father, R’ Avrohom Weichbrod, his wife, Mrs. Roisie Weichbrod, his children, Binyomin Tzvi Weichbrod, Shimi Weichbrod, Gershi Weichbrod, Yitzy Weichbrod, and Nechama Tzivia Weichbrod, and his siblings, R’ Shimon Weichbrod, R’ Yanky Weichbrod, R’ Eli Weichbrod, Mrs. Sarah Spirn and Mrs. Rifky Steinberg.
