Jonathan Lee Cohen, or Johnny Vegas & Johnny Shaft to his closest friends, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday morning, June 16, 2018 at his favorite place, Daytona Beach, Florida with the love of his life by his side.
Johnny went to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California and the University of Miami. He got to travel the world through his corporate job and made lots of friends along the way.
Even though he travelled a lot and got assigned in the Philippines where he met his wife, he never missed Bike Week. He would ride his Harley every weekend and when he’s not out on his bike he was driving around with his St. Bernard, Amadeus, enjoying the Florida sun.
Johnny is survived by his wife, Jessica Camille Cohen; his mother, Roxie Torrance; his sister, Jackie Cohen; nephews, Josh Cohen & Buddy Cohen; all of whom reside in Florida. He is also survived by his father, Stephen Cohen; and his sister, Hayley Gipson; who both reside in Kentucky.
