Shane Warren Cohen, age 35 of Clifton, died suddenly and unexpected on Friday, October 8, 2010.
Shane was born in Mount Vernon, New York and spent his formative years in Greenburgh, New York before moving to Wayne with his family in 1990. He graduate from Wayne Hills High School with the class of 1993 and received his Bachelors degree from Babson College in 1997. He was a proud member of the Theta Chi Fraternity.
Shane had recently begun working for Tilcon New York in West Nyack and had remarked to his father how much he enjoyed being there. However, he clearly loved golfing more than anything.
He would have played golf more often had things like work and family not gotten in the way. His clubs were always in his car, ready to go. He was a fun guy to be around and an obvious extrovert, but if you asked him he would have modestly told you he was an introvert. He always enjoyed a good time, with good wine, and good food. A glass of red wine was never too far away, or a glass of Makers Mark. He also had a wine collection that would make some people jealous.
His friends were truly important to him and in his heart he saw them not merely as friends, but as members of his family. He especially loved his nephews, Jacob and Jadon, and he would occasionally take them to a Yankee’s games when he could. On one particular occasion at Yankee Stadium, he had gone to get some veggie burgers for his nephews and just as he was returning to his seat, hands full of burgers, a game ball came his way. He made a split decision to drop the veggie burgers and catch the ball! After that, his punch line was; “no animals were harmed!” He also had the opportunity to travel a bit, visiting Germany, Italy, San Diego to visit his sister, and he worked a portion of his career in New Orleans and Ohio. In his brief time here he lived a full life and enjoyed each moment.
Shane is survived by his loving parents; Harold and Dora Cohen of Wayne, his devoted sisters; Alexis Cohen of San Diego, California, and Marla Cohen of Cincinnati, Ohio, his two favorite nephews; Jacob and Jadon Cohen, also of Cincinnati, and his best and dearest friend, Brian Denike of Clifton.
