Donald Cohen Obituary

Donald Warren Cohen, of Reston, Virginia, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025, at the age of 85. He is survived by his beloved wife, Ferne Rothstein; devoted son, Ari Cohen; Ferne's children, Jennifer (Leonard) Stewart, Kelly (Emily) Wood, and Amanda Hoehn; cherished grandchildren, Maya Stewart and Ava Stewart; dear sister-in-law, Terry (Alexander "Sandy") Brucker; loving cousin, Bernard (Marsha) Bondroff; and many more caring family members and friends. He was predeceased by his loving parents, Allen and Anne Cohen.

Dr. Donald Cohen was a dedicated veterinarian and loving family man who worked hard throughout his life to ensure that his loved ones were cared for. Don ran a veterinary hospital for nearly 50 years, finding joy in helping animals and their owners. Outside of work, Don enjoyed meeting new people, and traveling around the world with his son, Ari, and his wife, Ferne. He was an eternal optimist, always finding the bright side of any situation. He'll be remembered for his kindness, his witty humor, and his joy for life.
