David Cohen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 3, 2024.
David (Pop-Pop) Cohen, 78, of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a long battle with cancer on September 23rd, 2024. Beloved and devoted husband of Charlene; loving and caring father to Anton (Debra) Cohen, Gavin Cohen, Lori (Shane) Shapiro and Donna (Asher) Kells; proud and loved grandfather to Ella, Samantha, Cole, Annie, Laine, Axel and Dane; kind brother to Gerald (Lesley) Cohen and Hilary (Stanley) Weiner; and loyal friend to all.

He was an avid fisherman and had a passion for antiquing. His Jewish faith was very important to him, and he had a deep connection to the State of Israel. He lived his life with loyalty, integrity, honesty, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Nothing made him more proud than spending time with his grandchildren.

David grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and emigrated to the United States in 1990. He settled with his Family in Virginia Beach where he lived for 30 years before making Ponte Vedra Beach his full time home. He will always be in our hearts and his legacy will live on forever.

In his memory, donations may be made to Beth El The Beaches Synagogue at https://bethelbeaches.org/
