DAVID HERSKOVITS Obituary

HERSKOVITS--David. David Michael Herskovits, a pioneer in the development and construction of over $1 billion of solar and renewable energy projects, has died at 38. He was an innovator in his field and proud to be reducing the effects of climate change. David was Vice President of International Business Development for Giggawatt Global in Jerusalem, Israel; and the founder and CEO of Energiya USA. He was responsible for developing the first utility-scale solar farm in Louisiana, among other projects. Since 2019 he was Vice President of Brookfield Renewable. David was loving, family- focused, generous, and a great friend to people from all walks of life. David was extraordinarily charming and his infectious smile and positive attitude made everyone want to be on his team. He loved sharing the very best of everything with his love Kascey, friends, and family. He was changing the world for the better through his relentless work ethic and ambitious drive. David will forever be remembered as a legend; inspiring others to live life to the fullest, be valiant in setting and achieving aggressive goals and never giving up. David's friendships were many, including those from Highland Park, Illinois, where he grew up; Camp Kawaga, Brooks, Kent School, Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and Syracuse University, where he earned a BS, and was a proud Orangeman like his father. David was the son of Tom and Rita Wyant Herskovits of Boca Raton, Florida, brother to Kathryn Herskovits of Brooklyn, NY, and devoted husband to Kascey Herskovits, a Vice President at JP Morgan Chase & Co. They resided in Tribeca and Palm Beach Gardens, FL, where they pursued their love of golf and travel around the world. The David M. Herskovits Foundation has been established to honor David's commitment to the future of renewable energy.
