Santos M Calderon

Santos Merlos Calderon, left this world peacefully on the morning of Wednesday, May 14, 2025, surrounded by his twin daughters Katrina Calderon, Kristel Calderon, and wife, Lourdes Rocafort. Santos Merlos Calderon is survived by his four beautiful daughters, Angelica Calderon, Katrina Calderon, Kristel Calderon, Samantha Calderon, and beloved wife Lourdes Rocafort.

He is also survived by his beloved mother, Maria Thelma Calderon and siblings, Manuel, Maria, Delmy, Ana Gladys, Martha Alicia, and Felipe. Santos also held dear to his heart his Pastor- Pastor Edwin Acevedo, cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends who were like brothers to him, including Armando Calderon, Jesse DeJesus, and the late Alvaro Romero.

Santos was a pillar of strength and support for his family and friends. He was a devoted father, always there to offer love and moral support, cherishing every moment spent with family and friends. He lit up any room he walked in with his contagious smile and joking mannerisms.

Santos had many passions in life, including watching the Mets games and playing soccer and tennis. He was known for his generosity, his dedication to his career as a phlebotomist, but was most proud and joyous about his role as a father to his four daughters. He was a devout Pentecostal Christian, trusting in the Lord and selflessly giving to others up until his passing.

The wake will he held on Sunday, May 18, 2025 at the Krowicki McCracken Funeral Home in Linden, NJ from 3-7pm.

The funeral service will begin on Monday, May 19, 2025, starting at 9:30am at the Krowicki McCracken Funeral Home, followed by a procession to the church for his prayer service at the First Pentecostal Church of God in Linden, NJ from 10am-11:30am, followed by the burial at Gertrude Cemetery at 12pm.
