John M. Heller, 58, of Cape May Courthouse, New Jersey, formerly of Roselle Park, New Jersey, passed away on August 24, 2025, in Marlton, New Jersey. Born on February 16, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey, John's journey was one of deep faith and hard work.

John's early years in Roselle Park laid the foundation for a life marked by achievement and community involvement. A proud graduate of Roselle Park High School's Class of 1985, he excelled on the football field and earned recognition on the All-State Football Team, demonstrating his commitment and team spirit. These traits would define John throughout his life.

After high school, John channeled his work ethic into his own business, J & M Irrigation Services. His dedication to his work was evident as he often put in long hours, ranging from 10 to 16 hours a day, to ensure the success of his enterprise and the satisfaction of his clients.

John's personal life was rich with the love of his family and his faith. He was predeceased by his father, William M. Heller, Sr., and is survived by his adoring mother, Joan M. Heller; his siblings, William M. Heller, Jr., Michael Heller (Lizzy), and Jennifer Steele nee Heller; and his cherished nieces and nephews, Daniel, Billy, Brianna (goddaughter), Alexandra, Samantha, and Victoria. John's role as a loving brother and uncle was one he embraced with joy and pride. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

John's Christian faith was a guiding light in his life. He was saved in 2009 and remained devoted to his beliefs, finding solace and strength in the teachings of the Bible. His faith-filled life was an inspiration to those around him, and his love for God was evident in his actions and words.

Beyond his work and faith, John had a zest for life's pleasures. He was an avid bodybuilder and took great pride in his weightlifting achievements. His love for sports extended to being a lifelong New York Giants fan, and he even tried out for the team in his younger years. John's adventurous spirit shone through his love for riding his Harley Motorcycle and his enthusiasm for classic cars. His cat, 'Tiger,' and all animals held a special place in his heart, reflecting his kind and loving nature.

John M. Heller will be remembered as a loving, faith-filled man whose presence enriched the lives of those around him. His legacy is one of hard work, devotion to family, and a life lived with purpose and joy.
