Gilbert "Gilberto" C. Marrero, Jr., 60, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 29, 2025.

Born in Reading, he was the son of Gilbert Marrero, Sr, and the late Susan (Nardo) Marrero. He was a charismatic man whose kindness and warm spirit touched the lives of many. He had a passion for history and took great joy in collecting items from different periods, preserving the stories they carried. When not adding to his collections, he could often be found riding his motorcycle, enjoying the freedom of the open road. He cherished spending time with his friends, always bringing laughter, good conversation, and camaraderie wherever he went.

He will be remembered for his generosity, his adventurous spirit and his love of simple moments shared with those close to him.

In addition to his father, those cherishing Gilberto's memory include his children: Andrew Marrero and Matthew Marrero; his grandchildren: Andrew, Jr, Alexis and Alex; as well as his siblings: Bernard Marrero, Angela Marrero, Kimberly Diaz, and Samuel Marrero.

Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home is honored to serve Gilberto's family. Condolences may be expressed at kuhnfuneralhomes.com
