Obituary of Carlos Enrique Montiel

Carlos Enrique Montiel was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, on October 9, 1955. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his closest loved ones, music, and prayer, on August 19, 2023, after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis.


As a young man, Carlos made the journey to the United States, where he raised his family and lived a full life for the past 47 years.


Carlos is survived by his wife Francisca, three daughters, and four grandchildren.


Carlos was a senior accountant for RWJ Barnabas Health and was also an avid runner, dancer, roller skater, and gardener. He loved attending Zumba classes and going to the beach, and he had a passion for traveling the world, with Italy being his favorite country to visit. He believed strongly that music had the power to elevate his children's lives, and as years passed, listening to them play gave him great joy.


The Montiel Family Home hosted countless family get-togethers (Christmas by far – being his favorite), and he was always the life of the party. He had an impeccable fashion sense which was evident to anyone who knew him. Carlos was always ready and available to assist anyone in need and was passionate about giving back to needy families and children in his home country. His lifelong dream was to open an orphanage for underprivileged children in Guatemala.


In lieu of flowers, potted flowers or plants may be sent to the funeral home. A contribution may also be made to his wife to go towards his beloved home garden.

 

A visitation will be held on Friday, August 25, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at Higgins Home for Funerals, 752 Mountain Blvd., Watchung, NJ.  A funeral service will follow and be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home. A second visitation will be held at the funeral home before his burial on Saturday, August 26, 2023, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. After the second visitation, he will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery, 1401 Woodland Avenue, Scotch Plains, NJ. A Celebration of Life will follow immediately after the burial at the following address:

Obituario de Carlos Enrique Montiel 

Carlos Enrique Montiel nació en la Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala, el 9 de octubre de 1955. Falleció pacíficamente rodeado musica, oracion y de sus seres queridos más cercanos el 19 de agosto de 2023, luego de una larga batalla contra la fibrosis pulmonar.

Cuando era joven, Carlos viajó a los Estados Unidos, donde formó su familia y vivió una vida plena durante los últimos 47 años.

A Carlos le sobreviven su esposa Francisca, tres hijas y cuatro nietos.

Carlos era contador senior de RWJ Barnabas Health y un hombre que amaba a Dios y todos sus preceptos como base fundamental de la familia. También era un ávido corredor, bailarín, patinador y jardinero. Le encantaba asistir a clases de zumba, ir a la playa y le apasionaba viajar por el mundo, siendo Italia su país favorito para visitar. Creía firmemente que la música tenía el poder de elevar la vida de sus hijas y, a medida que pasaban los años, escucharlas tocar le daba una gran alegría.

La Casa de la Familia Montiel fue sede de innumerables reuniones familiares (la Navidad, con diferencia, es su favorita), y él siempre fue el alma de la fiesta. Tenía un impecable sentido de la moda que era evidente para cualquiera que lo conociera. Carlos siempre estuvo listo y disponible para ayudar a cualquiera que lo necesitara, y le apasionaba retribuir a las familias y niños necesitados en su país de origen. El sueño de su vida era abrir un orfanato para niños desfavorecidos en Guatemala.

En lugar de flores, se pueden enviar flores o plantas en macetas a la funeraria. También se puede hacer una contribución a su esposa para que se dedique al amado jardín de su casa.

Se realizará un velorio el viernes 25 de agosto de 2023, de 4:00 p.m. a 6:00 p.m., en Higgins Home for Funerals, 752 Mountain Blvd., Watchung, NJ. Seguirá un servicio funerario que se llevará a cabo a partir de las 6:00 p.m. a 8:00 p. m. en la funeraria. Se llevará a cabo un segundo velorio en la funeraria antes de su entierro el sábado 26 de agosto de 2023, de 9:30 a.m. a 10:30 a.m. Después del segundo velorio, será enterrado en el cementerio Hillside, 1401 Woodland Avenue, Scotch Plains, Nueva Jersey. Una Celebración de la Vida seguirá inmediatamente después del entierro en la siguiente dirección:
