Gary Norman Cohen

Gary Norman Cohen, age 67, Roswell, born July 19, 1957, and died October 19, 2024.
 

Gary loved his family first and foremost and was adored by his wife and children. He obtained his undergraduate degree in three years from the University of Michigan, went on to obtain a Juris Doctor (JD) from the University at Buffalo, and received an MBA from Northwestern University. Gary was a brilliant man who spent his entire career with Ernst & Young (EY) where he was the Quality and Risk Management Leader of EY’s Global and Americas Personal Tax Service and the Chair of the Editorial Board of the EY Tax Guide.

He was a passionate model railroader and had a collection of model cars, planes, and ships. He was a student of history and archaeology, an avid reader, and cared deeply about current events and politics. He was also a very funny, witty guy. He loved TV and movies, particularly Star Trek, and was thrilled to see his Michigan Wolverines win the National Championship last year (Go Blue!). 

Survivors include his loving wife of 40 years, Dana Lisook Cohen; son, Jonathan David Cohen; daughter, Melanie Sara Cohen; sister and brother-in-law Michelle and Kevin Weiner; mother, Annette Cohen.  He was preceded in death by his father, Henry Cohen, of blessed memory; parents in-law Ruth and Alan Lisook, of blessed memory.
