BEXLEY -- David Shorr, 64, passed away peacefully surrounded by family, Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, after a long battle with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

David was born Nov. 20, 1959, in Youngstown, the son of Dorothy and Dr. Henry Shorr, and was the grandson of Rosa and Charles Shorr, and Legretta Stoyer and Edward Knuff. He graduated from Liberty High School in 1978 and The Ohio State University Fischer School of Business. He worked at Wells Fargo for 25 years until he no longer could.

David loved being outside, fishing, hiking, and traveling -- especially to Nantucket, Naples and South Carolina. He loved celebrating Halloween and had an impressive collection of rocks, sticks and flowers that he collected on his daily walks. He was a devoted husband, father, uncle and son, and his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family.

David is survived by his two children, Samuel and Leah; wife, Kim Cohen Shorr; mother, Dorothy Shorr of Bexley; sisters, Patti Shorr of Bexley and Saralee Glaser of Los Angeles; and nephews, Max (Amy) Glaser, Charlie Glaser, Nicholas (Daniella) Glaser and Henry L. Shorr II. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Marilyn Tipton; father-in-law, Jeffrey (Susie) Cohen; his aunt Lois Stanchek, aunt Patsy and uncle Edward Knuff, and uncle Art Eckles. He leaves many special friends and numerous cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father, Dr. Henry L. Shorr, his grandparents and his aunt Carolyn Eckles.

David's life will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024, at Temple Israel, 3100 E. Broad St., Columbus. The family will receive friends and family after the service.

The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the Sage Park Memory Care staff in Gahanna, and Suncrest Hospice, who treated David with great care.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association in David's memory.
