Oliver Antonio Jimenez, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at the age of 93.

Born on May 10, 1932, in Andalucía, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, Oliver built a life defined by hard work, family, and joy. He dedicated many years of his career to the Ingenio de Manuelita agribusiness, where he specialized in operating heavy machinery with skill and precision.

A man of many passions, Oliver was a devoted fan of the América de Cali soccer team, and he loved playing dominoes, chess, and soccer in his younger days. Music was always close to his heart - he loved to sing, dance, and celebrate life with those around him.

Those who knew him will remember his warmth, loyalty, and devotion as an amazing husband, father, and friend. He lived his life with kindness, dedication, and a deep commitment to family, always bringing loved ones together and teaching the importance of unity.

Oliver leaves behind his loving wife, five children, eleven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life at the Lehrer-Gibilisco Funeral Home, 275 West Milton Avenue, Rahway, NJ, on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, September 26, 2025, at 10:00 am at Divine Mercy Parish, 232 Central Ave, Rahway, NJ, followed by burial at Saint Gertrude Cemetery, 53 Inman Ave, Colonia, NJ.

Oliver Antonio Jimenez, amado esposo, padre, abuelo y bisabuelo, falleció pacíficamente a la edad de 93 años.

Nacido el 10 de mayo de 1932 en Andalucía, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, Oliver construyó una vida marcada por el trabajo arduo, la familia y la alegría. Dedicó muchos años de su carrera al Ingenio de Manuelita, donde se especializó en la operación de maquinaria pesada con gran habilidad y dedicación.

Hombre de muchas pasiones, Oliver fue un fiel seguidor del equipo de fútbol América de Cali. Disfrutaba jugar dominó, ajedrez y en su juventud practicó el fútbol. La música siempre ocupó un lugar especial en su corazón: le encantaba cantar, bailar y celebrar la vida junto a quienes amaba.

Quienes lo conocieron recordarán siempre su cariño, lealtad y entrega como esposo, padre y amigo ejemplar. Vivió con bondad, esfuerzo y un profundo compromiso con su familia, siempre buscando unir a los suyos y enseñando la importancia de la unión familiar.

Oliver deja a su querida esposa, cinco hijos, once nietos y tres bisnietos, quienes llevarán por siempre su recuerdo en el corazón.

Familiares y amigos están invitados a honrar su vida en el Lehrer-Gibilisco Funeral Home, 275 West Milton Avenue, Rahway, NJ, el jueves 25 de septiembre de 2025, de 5:00 pm a 8:00 pm.
