Walter Marcelo, age 66, of Paterson, NJ, passed away on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
Walter Marcelo was born to Catalino and Victoria Marcelo in Cerro De Pasco, Peru. Walter was loving, caring, devoted to his family, and always willing to help those he loved whenever he could. Valuing the importance of family, he especially enjoyed family gatherings throughout the year at home, with the purpose of having all his loved ones in one room - which always brought much joy to those around him. He enjoyed traveling and going to farms with his family while enjoying nature and exploring different places. Within the past couple of years, his favorite pastime became gardening in his home.
Throughout his battle with cancer, the song that would constantly encourage him was "Battle Belongs" by Phil Wickham. The lyrics are found in the back of the prayer cards to remind others going through struggles or difficulties that they do not have to fight their own battles alone. Trust that God is always in control, stand firm in your faith, and remember that there is always victory through Jesus.
Walter is survived by his love Claudia, and his cherished daughter Carolyn. He will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
