John Angelli Jr., 68, of Hazlet, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, July 4, 2026 surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Newark, John was raised in Hazlet, where he later made his home with his wife and family for thirty-four years.

John retired after a thirty-five-year career as a shipping and receiving clerk for Pathmark. He was a valued employee who earned the respect and friendship of his coworkers. In his free time, he enjoyed golfing with friends, cooking family dinners, volunteering in his community, tending to his garden, and simply relaxing outdoors in his favorite rocking chair. He also had a love for animals, especially his faithful companion, Honey.

A devoted sports fan, John faithfully cheered on the New York Yankees and New York Giants. He was an active member of the Keyport Knights of Columbus and the Holmdel Kiwanis Club.
Nothing brought John greater happiness than spending time with his two grandsons, Paul and Cole. He cherished every opportunity to create lasting memories with them, passing down his love of golf, baseball, bike rides, yard work, and, of course, ice cream. His greatest legacy was the time, guidance, and love he shared with his family.

John was predeceased by his beloved parents, John Sr. and June Angelli. He leaves behind his loving wife of 47 years, Rose Angelli; his daughter and son-in-law, Maria Angelli Stevens and Michael Stevens; his son, John Angelli, and his girlfriend, Elizabeth; his cherished grandsons, Paul and Cole; and his brother, Dino Angelli. His smile and gentle spirit will be deeply missed by his extended family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him.

Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 South Holmdel Road, Holmdel, NJ 07733.
Graveside services will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at Holmdel Cemetery and Mausoleum in Holmdel.
