    PITTSBURGH, PA — With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Graeme Dunlap, a beloved son, brother, friend, and community member, who died peacefully in his sleep on May 21, 2025, at the age of 42. His sudden departure has left a void in the lives of all who knew and loved him, not only in Pittsburgh, his cherished hometown, but also among countless others whose lives he touched across the country.

    Graeme was born on October 14, 1982, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he spent most of his life. From a young age, he exhibited a quiet strength and a keen intellect. He was known for his boundless curiosity, thoughtful nature, and a dry wit that could light up even the darkest room. A graduate of Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School, Graeme went on to earn a degree in communications and media studies from Duquesne University. Throughout his academic and professional journey, he remained deeply committed to learning, growth, and helping others.

    Graeme built a successful career in the fields of marketing and digital media, where he worked with several local startups and nonprofit organizations. Known for his creativity, technical insight, and dedication to excellence, he was a respected professional who approached his work with both passion and humility. Colleagues remember him as a mentor, a collaborator, and a leader who always prioritized kindness over competition.

    Beyond his professional life, Graeme was deeply connected to his community. He was a familiar and friendly face at local coffee shops, bookstores, and live music venues across Pittsburgh. He had an insatiable love for music, film, and literature, often sharing his favorite albums and authors with those close to him. A gifted writer and storyteller, Graeme had a way with words that left lasting impressions on everyone he met.

    But more than anything, Graeme will be remembered for his gentle spirit, boundless empathy, and unwavering loyalty. He had a unique ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued. He listened more than he spoke and always made time for those in need—whether it was a friend going through a tough time or a stranger who simply needed a kind word. His compassion was quiet but deep, and it radiated through everything he did.

    Graeme’s life was a testament to the power of presence. He didn’t seek the spotlight but left an indelible mark on all who knew him. His unexpected passing is a reminder of how fragile and precious life is, and of the importance of showing love, grace, and kindness while we can.

    He is survived by his loving parents, James and Patricia Dunlap of Pittsburgh; his siblings, Rachel Dunlap Matthews (Jonathan) of Harrisburg and Eli Dunlap of Pittsburgh; his nieces and nephews, who adored their “Uncle Graeme”; and countless friends, coworkers, and neighbors who were touched by his friendship.

    A celebration of Graeme’s life will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM at First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh, 605 Morewood Avenue. The family invites all who knew Graeme to join them in remembering his life, sharing stories, and honoring his legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Graeme’s memory to The Pittsburgh Arts Council or NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Southwestern Pennsylvania, two causes close to his heart.

    Though he may be gone from our sight, Graeme will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him. His memory will continue to inspire compassion, curiosity, and connection in a world that needs more of all three.

    Rest in peace, Graeme. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.

    TRAGIC: Her Boyfriend Unalived Her and Buried Her in the Backyard – New Orleans Community in Shock The New Orleans community is grappling with a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy after the life of 24-year-old Essence was cut short in an act of unimaginable violence. According to police, Essence was fatally shot by her boyfriend, Benjamin Camp, who later confessed to the crime and led authorities to the location of her body—buried in the backyard of their shared home on Marigny Street. The New Orleans Police Department reported that Camp, 28, called authorities on the morning of the incident and told them he had killed his girlfriend. Officers responded immediately to the residence in the 2300 block of Marigny Street, where they encountered Camp and took him into custody without incident. He reportedly remained at the scene, awaiting their arrival. What they uncovered next shook even seasoned investigators. Police were directed to a freshly disturbed area in the backyard, where they discovered Essence’s body—wrapped and hastily buried in a shallow grave. Detectives and crime scene units secured the scene and began the difficult work of collecting evidence and piecing together the tragic timeline of events. A Life Stolen Too Soon Essence was remembered by those who knew her as a bright, spirited young woman with a radiant smile and a kind heart. Friends and family say she had dreams of advancing her education and eventually working in a profession that would allow her to help others. She loved music, poetry, and her family deeply. She had recently been exploring new opportunities and trying to create a more stable and fulfilling life for herself. Loved ones say they never could have imagined that the relationship she was in would end in such devastating violence. “She was trying to find herself, and she was growing into a beautiful woman,” said one family member. “We never expected this. We never thought he would do something like this.” The Alleged Killer: Benjamin Camp Benjamin Camp is now facing second-degree murder charges in connection to Essence’s death. Police have not yet revealed a motive, but sources close to the investigation say there were possible signs of a troubled relationship, though no prior domestic violence reports have been made public as of yet. Authorities confirmed that Camp confessed to the killing during the 911 call and provided the location of the body, though they are continuing to gather evidence and speak with witnesses to fully understand the sequence of events that led to the fatal shooting. He remains in custody without bond at the Orleans Justice Center. A Community Demanding Justice As news of the tragedy spread, heartbreak and anger swept through the neighborhood and beyond. Residents gathered outside the home in quiet solidarity, leaving flowers, candles, and handwritten messages at a makeshift memorial near the fence where police marked off the scene. “We want justice for Essence,” said a neighbor. “No one deserves to die like that. She had her whole life ahead of her.” Local advocacy groups have also spoken out, calling for increased awareness around domestic violence and more support for young women in vulnerable relationships. “This is a reminder that behind closed doors, many women suffer in silence,” said one advocate. “Essence’s story is painful, but it cannot be ignored.” Ongoing Investigation The New Orleans Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the homicide. They have asked anyone with additional information about the case or the couple’s history to come forward. Essence’s body has been transported to the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office, where an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause and time of death. While her physical presence is gone, her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her—and in a community shaken by her tragic and senseless loss. ⸻ If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please know help is available. You can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text “START” to 88788 for 24/7 confidential support. Essence’s life mattered. Her story deserves to be told.
