Anthony Juliano, Jr., age 61 years, died peacefully on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at Hunterdon Medical Center, Raritan Township, NJ, after a valiant battle against scleroderma.

Born on February 8, 1963 in Elizabeth, NJ, son of the Late Anthony Juliano, Sr. and Rachel Kenna Juliano, Anthony was a cherished father, son, brother, uncle and friend to all.

A hardworking Project Manager working with various residential construction companies through the years, Anthony poured his heart into each and every project, and his spirit lives on through his beautiful work.

His spirit though, truly lives on in the light of his heart, his daughter, Jillian Juliano, who recollected that her father was, “…the most hardworking man. I would sometimes joke that he would rather have a hammer in his hand than having a day to just enjoy himself. To me, knowing what hard work truly is, perhaps is the biggest life lesson he taught me in the twenty-three short years I got to enjoy with him. When he did decide to put the tools down, we always enjoyed doing activities such as kayaking, going to the arcade at the boardwalk, fishing, and spending quality family time. These memories I will forever cherish. He was the most amazing father a girl could have and I am grateful to call him mine. Daddy, I hope you catch the biggest fish and build the most beautiful house up above.”

Though his life was cut short by a ravishing disease that could never steal his soul, his heart will live on through all the lives he touched. To honor Anthony,  is to live each day to the fullest.

Surviving, in addition to his daughter, Jillian, and his mother, Rachel, are his sisters and brothers-in-law, Patricia and Dwayne Boyer and Joyce and Richard Spangler; his nieces and nephews, Christina Boyer-Kimball and Cole Kimball, Sr., and Jeffrey Spangler; his great nephew, Cole Kimball, Jr.; his great niece, Scarlett Kimball; several extended family members; and many dear friends.
