It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bryan Cohen, Esq., who died peacefully on July 24th, 2025. A beloved son, brother, husband, father, friend, and attorney, he was adored by all who knew him for his gentle manner and his love of a good laugh.

Born and raised in Elizabeth, NJ, Bryan attended Thomas Jefferson High School where he excelled in scholarship and baseball. He idolized Mickey Mantle and was himself a powerful slugger on the varsity team. He once had the opportunity to try out for the Yankees but resorted to college and graduate school as a second choice. Bryan attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, followed by Rutgers Law School in Camden, NJ. For most of his life he lived in Southern NJ where he worked as a solo practitioner attorney.

Bryan was always passionate about both playing sports and rooting for his favorite teams. He was an avid golfer who knew every spring that “This was the year” he was going to reach his personal best. Once he moved to Southern NJ he became a Philly fan, cheering on the Eagles, 76ers and Phillies.

Often mistaken for Tom Selleck, Bryan was as spiritual as he was handsome. He loved contemplating life’s deep questions, writing poetry, exploring modes of self-cultivation, and offering hope and healing to those in need. He often advised, “Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted,” words that transformed many a challenge into hard-earned wisdom.

Above all, Bryan was devoted to his family, gracing them with unwavering time, attention, and approval. He is survived by his loving children, Sage and David M. Cohen; his grandchildren Zake and Isaiah Cohen and Theo Luchs-Cohen; and his former wife, Bobbi Cohen. He is the son of the late Hilda and Isadore Cohen; brother of Arnold Shep Cohen, Esq. and his wife Sharon Mark Cohen; and the late Jeffrey Cohen, PhD. He will be greatly missed by all, including his dear friends.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for later in the year.
