Warren Jerome Rosen died on June 24, 2025 at the age of 87 at his home in Melville, New York.
Warren was born on May 29, 1938 in Brooklyn, New York to Sylvia (Sass) and Murray Rosen. He graduated from Cheshire Academy in Connecticut and attended Miami University in Ohio and then the University of Miami in Florida. After college he went on to serve his country in the United States Army.
He started his career at Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, NY at the age of 16, working on the landscaping crew during school breaks. After his time in the Army he went back to Beth David Cemetery to work alongside his father and brother building a remarkable career that ultimately found him leading the cemetery as its President. Through his work he built a reputation as a man who was admired for his warmth, compassion and dedication to caring for people when they were at their most vulnerable.
Warren’s commitment to putting the needs of others before his own went far beyond his career, kindness and generosity was the hallmark of his character. Warren was an avid fisherman and boater. He also had a deep passion for cars and collected a wide variety of unique cars over the years. Family was first and foremost to him, he was a devoted father to his three daughters, grandfather to his seven grandchildren and great-grandfather to his two great-grandchildren. Warren also cherished his relationships with his many nieces and nephews.
He is survived by his brother Neal Rosen (and his wife Terri) and sister Roberta Grandt.
