Philip Beiting

September 6, 1990 – January 13, 2021

Philip was born in Columbus, Ohio and moved to Sonoma County with his family in 1999. He attended St. Rose School, Cardinal Newman High School and Sonoma State University. He had a love for literature, and enjoyed playing music and writing poetry. He was deeply attached to his dogs. He chose his 11-year-old rescue, Otis, by spending an hour looking for the saddest dog in the shelter. He was compassionate towards those less fortunate than him, especially the homeless. He died after a long struggle with anxiety and the attendant self-mediation. He is survived by his parents, Mark and Mary Beiting, siblings, Katherine Neff, Ellen Held, and Jack Beiting. A celebration of life memorial will be announced after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Donations in Philip’s name can be made to: NAMI Sonoma County (namisonomacounty.org) or Catholic Charities of Santa Rosa (www.srcharities.org).
