Kelvin Espinal

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kelvin Espinal of Perth Amboy, who passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at the age of 36.
He was born on March 18, 1989, at Raritan Bay Medical Center, Perth Amboy, NJ to Cruz Maria Tejada & Juan Pablo Espinal. He was employed as a service technician at C&C Lift Truck Inc.
Kelvin lived a quiet, humble life, giving his heart fully to others-offering kindness without expectation of anything in return, and showing the same deep, unwavering love to every person and pet.
Kelvin was remarkably hard-working, often working day and night, while selflessly caring for his ailing father. No matter how tired he was, he never hesitated to lend a helping hand. If something needed to be done, he would give it his all without complaint. He adored his cat, Tux, and his nieces & nephews, always making time to play with them after long days of work, even when exhaustion weighed heavy. He often put his own health aside to care for others. Genuine, sincere, and honest to his core, he loved his family with a quiet but fierce intensity that will never be forgotten. He will be deeply missed.
Kelvin will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Cruz Maria Tejada, his father, Juan Pablo Espinal, his siblings, Esther, Edwin, Arelis, Juan Jr., Tania, Greilyn Espinal & Patric Klotzbuecher- nieces Adalia & Maya Klotzbuecher, Aralis & Melissa Collado, Ivis & Lisbed Espinal & Charlene, his nephews-Kevin, Devin, & Evan Rodriguez, Leonel, & Patric N. Klotzbuecher. Additionally, Kelvin is also survived by 5 aunts, 4 uncles, and countless cousins, friends, and his cat Tux.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects on Thursday, May 22, 2025, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at the Gustav J. Novak Funeral Home, located at 419 Barclay Street, Perth Amboy, NJ.
