Pedro Juan Ferreras

He was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic by his mother, Amis Josefina Gomez (dec.) and his father, Elias Ferreras de Los Santos (dec.). Pedro immigrated to the United States with his mother in the late 70s. He started his American journey in New York where his first son, Pedro Alexis (dec.) was born. He later moved to Hackensack, NJ when he met his ex-wife, Ilse Polo and had two more sons, Jonathan and Joel. The family then later established a home in Harrisburg, PA. Pedro then welcomed his fourth son, Aldres Ferreras.

Although Pedro only had four biological sons, he was a father figure to many, including his niece, Jael Ferreras. His nurturing personality made him a strong member of the community who supported local businesses and provided help to his neighbors. As a local barber, every person who entered his doors and sat in his chair were welcomed with warmth and comfort. Pedro is remembered by his loved ones as a proud and confident man, who was never ashamed to be himself. His love for music made him the star of every dance floor and the lead vocalist of every car ride. While Pedro was a hard working man, he never neglected to make time to enjoy life with his family, friends, and loved ones.

Pedro is survived through his three sons, Jonathan (spouse Becky), Joel, and Aldres, and his sisters Francia and Idsia and he will be reuniting with his son, Pedro Alexis, his brother, Aldres, and his mother and father.

A memorial service for Pedro will be held on Saturday January 25, 2025 at 12pm at Neill Funeral Home, 3501 Derry St. Harrisburg PA 17111. A visitation will take place at 11am until the time of the service at the funeral home. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family.
