Cohen Odom Jr.

Cohen Odom Jr., known affectionately by many as Bub Odom Jr, departed from this world on March 12, 2026. Born on May 27, 1946, in Salley, SC, USA, Cohen was a man of humility and generosity - a man of simple pleasures who found joy in the company of his loved ones. His humor brought laughter into every room, his intelligence sparkled in his conversations, and his kindness touched the hearts of all who knew him. As Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Cohen lived this truthly, always offering a helping hand and a warm smile to those around him.

Cohen's professional life was marked by dedication and hard work. He spent many years as a truck driver in the transportation industry, a role that earned him the Outstanding Achievement Award from US Cargo. However, it was not just his working life that showcased his tenacity. Cohen was a man of many hobbies. Whether it was casting a line at the lake, passionately discussing football, lining up a shot on the pool table, or simply enjoying the company of his family, Cohen embraced life with an infectious enthusiasm.

As we remember Cohen, we are reminded of the words of Albert Einstein: "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Cohen lived his life as if everything was a miracle, and his memory will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Let us remember Cohen not with sadness, but with gratitude for his life and the joy he brought to ours.
