Juan Alarcon, a proud Peruvian man of remarkable strength and resilience, passed away at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy of love, hard work, and unwavering devotion to family.
Juan was deeply loved by his Sister Olga Alarcon-Valdivia, and his wife, Manuela Montanez, who stood by his side with love and partnership. Before marriage, Juan was blessed with 2 biological and 4 step-children. Through marriage, he lovingly welcomed two additional adult stepdaughters, embracing them as his own without hesitation or distinction.
He was a devoted and cherished Grandfather of Eighteen Grandchildren. He was also proud Great-Grandfather to Chace, Myla, and Dwight. These roles he carried with joy, pride, and boundless affection.
Juan was known as a strong and strong-willed man—someone who always bounced back, no matter the challenge. He worked tirelessly to provide for those he loved, remaining committed and hardworking until his very last breath. His selflessness and generosity touched everyone who knew him, and his quiet sacrifices spoke louder than words.
Those closest to Juan will forever remember his very loud snoring and his boastful, contagious laugh, sounds that filled rooms and hearts and will be deeply missed.
Juan Alarcon leaves behind not only a family who adored him but a powerful example of perseverance, love, and strength that will live on through generations.
He will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
Visitation services will be held at Funeraria Alvarez De Paterson, located at 267 Park Ave, Paterson, NJ 07513, on December 21, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
