Cesar A. Clavijo, 66, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2025, at Overlook Hospital, after a courageous battle with stomach cancer. Born in Bogotá, Colombia, to Benedicto and Victorina Clavijo, Cesar immigrated to the United States in 1990. He dedicated many years of his life to his work as a truck driver with JB Hunt before retiring due to his health.
Cesar was a devoted family man, cherishing every moment with his loved ones. His kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others were hallmarks of his character. A man of gentle strength, he faced every challenge with resilience, often offering a smile even in the face of adversity. He had a deep love for reading and music and harbored a lifelong dream of learning to play the guitar.
He will be remembered for his unwavering spirit, his warmth, and the love he so freely gave to those around him.
He is survived by his daughter, Diana Clavijo and her husband, Robert Benites; his son, Cesar Clavijo and his wife, Sandra; and his daughter, Marielena Clavijo. He is also survived by his grandchildren, David and Natalie, and by his many brothers and sisters.
Friends and family are invited to a Visitation at Memorial Funeral Home, 155 South Ave., Fanwood, on Saturday, March 8th, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

La tristeza ha inundado mi ser en sus recovecos escondidos, la distancia hace que el dolor sea más fuerte, pero hay que tomar unas fuerte dosis de templanza, solidaridad y comprensión ...fuerza a todos... Cordial saludo desde Bogotá, Colombia... Diego Orlando Clavijo Clavijo
