Victor Manuel Bello Urbaez

With deep sorrow and loving remembrance, we announce the passing of Victor Manuel Bello Urbaez, who departed this life on April 7, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on March 2, 1945, in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic, Victor was the beloved son of Manuel Bello and Austria Urbaez.

Victor lived a vibrant and full life, marked by a passionate love for music, laughter, and togetherness. Known affectionately as a true “party animal,” Victor’s joy was infectious. Whether he was singing, dancing, solving a puzzle, or preparing a delicious meal, he did it with his whole heart and a smile that lit up every room.

He was the proud and devoted father of Tania Bello, Austria Bello, Cintia De Casado, Dayana Bello, Miosotis Aracena, Victor Bello Jr., and Rosa Bello, and a loving grandfather whose face would light up whenever his grandchildren were near. Family was everything to Victor, and his home was a place of warmth, stories, good food, and lively music.

Victor’s legacy is one of joy, rhythm, and deep familial love. He leaves behind a chorus of laughter, memories of dancing feet, and recipes passed down with care. He will be missed dearly but remembered with great love by all who were fortunate enough to know him. 

You would often hear him saying the following verses:

"Que se Mueve", "Dime Lo Cantando", "El que duerme mucho vive poco", Cada cual paga por lo que quiere", "Si yo no me cuido aparte de Dios nadie me cuida".

A memorial visitation will be celebrated on Thursday, April 17th from 2-4pm in Las Rosas Bannworth Funeral Home, 1055 E. Jersey Street, Elizabeth, NJ.
