Zoran Milorad Filipovic age 47 of Poughquag, NY passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday January 8, 2018 while receiving the loving care of his family.

Zoran was born in Livingston, NJ and lived in West Paterson and lake Hopatcong before moving to Poughqaug, NY. When Zoran turned two years old his family moved back to their homeland in Serbia. It was in Serbia where Zoran spent his formative years and after graduating High School returned to the United States to further his education. He was accepted to Delhi State University of New York. Zoran attended Delhi State University for two years and then transferred to the prestigious Ivy League school, Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It was at Cornell University where Zoran graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. On September 23, 2000 Zoran married the love of his life Marija (Arandjelovic). They were married at St John the Baptist Serbian Orthodox Church in Paterson. Zoran and Marija cherished seventeen years of loving and loyal marriage together.

Following his graduation, Zoran went to work at as a Veterinarian’s assistant for about two years.

Hoffman LA Roche eventually closed up and Zoran and his family relocated to Poughquag, NY where he took a position as Senior Scientist with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. Zoran and his family would call Poughquag their home until his passing.

Zoran was a driven man and quite brilliant and devoted to his Orthodox Faith. Aside from his love of Science, Zoran was an avid fisherman of all types, including freshwater, fly, and deep sea to name just a few. But apart from his career, hobbies, and interests, Zoran’s greatest love was for his family, nothing meant more to him than providing for and spending time with his wife and children. Zoran was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many people and will be missed by everyone who knew him.
