Zachary Cohen Obituary

Zach touched many with his warmth and engaging smile, love for the mountains and skiing, amazing musical talent, quick wit, and love of food. His passion for his interests and friendships along with his innate gratitude for every moment were gifts to all who knew him. He graduated from Fairview High School in May of 2018 and was a leader and drumline captain for the Fairview Marching Knights while also playing drums in the Jazz 1 group and winter percussion line. He was accepted to the Berklee School of Music in Boston and was looking forward to moving there to study jazz drumset and sound engineering. His job at Pizzeria Locale in Boulder was a great use of his culinary talents and he had plans to study in Italy as his cooking interest blossomed. Zach is survived by his parents Tom & Kirsten Cohen, his sister Abby, and his beloved labradoodle Roscoe; grandparents Angela McClean and Ron & PJ Slovikoski; uncles Andy, Doug, & Phil Cohen; aunts Beth Cohen, Natalie and Erika Slovikoski. Celebration of Zach's life will be at Sunrise Amphitheatre at the top of Flagstaff Mountain at 10:00AM on Saturday, July 13. Reception to follow at the Cohen residence. Donations in Zach's honor are being accepted by The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society at the website https://www.lls.org

Think of him every day. Never has there been a person in my life as endlessly supportive as Zach. As effortlessly kind-hearted, a genuine friend. He is the motivation for all the good I am able to do from this point onward, and I can only be grateful for the opportunity to have been a friend of his.
Thank you for teaching me the pain of being grateful for what was once had that is now gone, but you still remain in the influence of good you have left behind in the memories of the lives you touched. I will do everything I can to ensure that your goodness does not end here, for I would not be here had I not encountered the authenticity of your soul. I will advocate for good in any way that I can, and i will be doing it for you.

Such a loss of a great life. Our hearts are so broken.
Just believe the band of angels coming to carry Zach home was heaven's own jazz band looking for the best percussionist this world had to offer.
All our love and prayers go out to you Tom, Kirsten and Abby. God will dry every tear from your eye when you see him again.
