Secundino Rosario Fuentes

Secundino married the love of his life, Justina, on January 18, 1975, and together they shared many years of devotion, faith, and family life.

He was a high school graduate and dedicated much of his life to service, both professionally and spiritually. Secundino retired from the Paterson Public Schools, where he worked faithfully for many years. In addition to his career, he was deeply involved in church ministries, reflecting his strong commitment to his faith.

A devoted member of the Pentecostal Church, Iglesia Cielos Abiertos, Secundino found great joy in prayer, fellowship, and serving others. He especially enjoyed prayers, playing dominoes, and helping those in need, always offering guidance and kindness to family, friends, and his community.

Secundino is survived by his beloved wife, Justina Rosario; his children: Lillian Banchs, Secundino Rosario, Orlando Rosario, and Migdalia Spencer Rosario; and his cherished grandchildren: Jeff Filomeno, Jadiel Filomeno, Michael Spencer, Dayna Tatham, Lisa Rosario, Michelle Rosario, and Orlando Rosario.

He will be remembered as a loving husband, devoted father and grandfather, faithful servant of God, and a man whose life was defined by compassion, humility, and service.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Secundino's memory may be made directly to the family.

Secundino Rosario’s legacy of faith and love will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew him.
