Remembering Commissioner Michael Feldstein – A Statement from the Dupont Circle ANC

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Commissioner Michael Feldstein, who has served the residents and businesses of district 2B-01 on the Dupont Circle Advisory Neighborhood Commission for almost eight years. Mike passed away in his home on April 13th following an extended illness.

Mike was a true leader who constantly pushed for progress and inspired those around him with his vision, kindness and tenacity. Throughout his career in international development and aid, and then in his work for the neighborhood, he was a strong advocate for the most vulnerable among us, especially for those who suffer quietly or without the ability to ask for help. In Dupont, he fiercely championed the beautification and utilization of our public spaces to the benefit of all of us.

Mike’s passing has already left a palpable hole in our neighborhood. We were consistently amazed by his ability to bring people together. Wherever his travels took him, he developed fast friendships and built strong relationships. His personality and ability to bring people together helped define our community.

Those who knew Mike know that he would never want anyone to make a fuss about him, but he did say that if friends were insistent they could honor his memory through a donation to the Dupont Circle Village, whose members rallied around Mike in his last days and weeks. Mike’s family, which includes so many neighbors, community members and friends, are planning a ceremony in celebration of his life the weekend of April 30. Please check back here for more details.

His family in Dupont Circle misses him dearly.
