in the house of representatives
Friday, May 28, 2021
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Steven Chotin of Denver, Colorado who passed away on May 15, 2021.
Steven was born in St. Louis, Missouri to Miriam and Alfred Chotin. He was the only son and middle child of two sisters. He graduated from Ladue High School and attended the University of Oklahoma for a brief time. He moved to Denver, Colorado in 1973 to reorganize a company that was owned by a family friend. Shortly after he moved, he met his wife, Robin Cohen, and they were married at Beth Joseph Congregation in 1974. Prior to founding his own company, Steven worked for MDC Holdings where he played a primary role in developing their mortgage banking business.
In 1984, Steven founded The Chotin Group Corporation. Since inception, the firm successfully invested in structured financial products and real estate opportunities where he was instrumental in creating mortgage-backed securities. Throughout his career, Steven was a strong supporter of social and political causes in the Denver Jewish community, throughout the country, and Israel and the diaspora.
In addition to his family office, most recently, Steven and Robin established The Chotin Foundation which is dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of individuals, children, and families with particular interest in Jewish causes as well as secular charitable initiatives in the areas of arts and culture, education, and health and wellness. In addition, he had a genuine interest in local, state, and national politics.
Steven was a devoted husband and loving father and grandfather. Steven and Robin raised five children and enjoyed time with their grandchildren--Jaxon, Caden, Coco, Harper, Crew, Cole and Parker. I am deeply grateful for his lifetime of service to our community.
