Robert Herrada Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by C. C. Van Emburgh Funeral Home - Ridgewood on Dec. 16, 2025.
Robert Michael Herrada was the beloved son of Carlos and Jennifer Herrada and beloved grandson of Carlos and Teresa Herrada and Robert and Mary Klingerman. Robert is survived by his little sister and best friend Isabella Herrada. The two were always connected by an invisible string with a bond that will never be broken.

Robert will be remembered for his bright smile, gentle spirit, and the happiness he found in life's simple pleasures. Despite not being able to speak, Robert communicated through his countless expressions, infectious smile, hearty belly laugh, and toothy grin. Everyone who met Robert fell in love with him as it was just that easy. He will be sorely missed but lives on within the hearts and minds of his nurses, teachers, doctors, and extended family. Robert was an expression of pure love.

Robert's memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends who loved him dearly. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who supported Robert throughout his life. Your kindness, love, and support brought fulfillment and comfort to him and his family, and will always be remembered.

A visitation will be held on Monday December 22nd from 2-4 & 6-8 PM at the C.C. Van Emburgh Funeral Home. A funeral service will take place on Tuesday December 23rd at 11:00AM at the funeral home chapel. Interment to follow at the George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus.
