Jose Ardon Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Alvarez Funeral Home, Inc. - Newark on Aug. 21, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Jose Mauricio Ardón, 66, of West Orange, New Jersey, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on August 19, 2025, at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

Born in San Salvador, El Salvador, Mauricio was the son of Maria Isabel Ardón and Tiburcio Portillo. He immigrated to the United States seeking a better life and worked diligently as a truck driver for many years, supporting those he loved with dedication and strength.

Mauricio shared a life full of love and commitment with his wife, Candida Ardón, and was a proud father to his daughters Jessica, Jacqueline, and Emily Ardón. He especially cherished his role as grandfather to his granddaughter, Gabriella Arrieta, who brought him immense joy.

A man of strong faith and steady compassion, Mauricio was a faithful member of the Christian church. He was passionate about sharing the gospel and completed two missionary trips to El Salvador, where he donated Bibles to churches with limited resources. From 2018 to 2020, he had the honor of serving as a deacon at Amor Agrape Church in Roselle, New Jersey. He deeply enjoyed attending Sunday services and found great joy in fellowship with his church community.

Outside of work and worship, Mauricio enjoyed gardening, long walks with the family dog, Nina, and chatting with friends and neighbors. One of his lifelong dreams was to retire in his beloved homeland of El Salvador where he frequently traveled. His extroverted and generous spirit, along with his cheerful and playful sense of humor, will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Jose Mauricio Ardón, de 66 años, residente de West Orange, Nueva Jersey, falleció en paz, rodeado del amor de su familia, el 19 de Agosto de 2025 en el Centro Médico Newark Beth Israel.

Nacido en San Salvador, El Salvador, Mauricio fue hijo de Maria Isabel Ardón y Tiburcio Portillo. Emigró a los Estados Unidos en busca de una vida mejor y trabajó con esfuerzo y dedicación como conductor de camiones durante muchos años, apoyando a sus seres queridos con entrega y fortaleza.

Mauricio compartió una vida llena de amor y compromiso con su esposa, Candida Ardón y fue un padre orgulloso de sus hijas Jessica, Jacqueline y Emily Ardón. Valoraba profundamente su papel como abuelo de su nieta, Gabriella Arrieta, quien le brindó una inmensa alegría.

Hombre de firme fe y compasión constante, Mauricio fue un miembro fiel de la iglesia cristiana. Le apasionaba compartir el evangelio y realizó dos viajes misioneros a El Salvador, donde donó Biblias a iglesias con pocos recursos. Entre los años 2018 y 2020, tuvo el honor de desempeñarse como diácono en la iglesia Amor Agrape, en Roselle, Nueva Jersey. Disfrutaba profundamente asistir a los servicios dominicales y encontraba una gran alegría en la comunión con su comunidad de iglesia.

Fuera del trabajo y de la iglesia, Mauricio disfrutaba de la jardinería, de largos paseos con la perrita de la familia, Nina, y de conversar con amigos y vecinos. Uno de sus sueños de toda la vida era retirarse a su amada tierra natal, El Salvador, donde él frecuentemente viajaba. Su

espíritu extrovertido y generoso, y su sentido del humor alegre y juguetón serán profundamente extrañados por todos quienes lo conocieron.

Family and friends are invited to the visitation on Monday August 25th 2025 from 6pm to 9pm, at Iglesia Mision Cristiana Church.

Funeral, August 26th 2025 will be from 9am to 10am, at Iglesia Mision Cristiana Church.
