Wesley LePatner, a senior managing director for the investment management firm Blackstone, was one of four people killed on Monday, July 28 during a mass shooting at the Midtown Manhattan office building where she worked, according to the New York Post. There

“We are heartbroken to share that our colleague, Wesley LePatner, was among those who lost their lives in the tragic incident at 345 Park Avenue,” Blackstone told the Post. “Words cannot express the devastation we feel. Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed.”

LePatner, 43, also served on the board of trustees at the Abraham Joshua Heschel School and UJA-Federation of New York. She received UJA’s Alan C. Greenberg Young Leadership Award in 2023 for her dedication to the Jewish community.

“Wesley was extraordinary in every way—personally, professionally and philanthropically. An exceptional leader in the financial world, she brought thoughtfulness, vision and compassion to everything she did,” UJA wrote in a statement. “She lived with courage and conviction, instilling in her two children a deep love for Judaism and the Jewish people.”

Following the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, LePatner “led a solidarity mission with UJA to Israel, demonstrating her enduring commitment in Israel’s moment of heartache,” UJA stated.
