Nelson Hurtado Franco

February 8, 1943 — July 8, 2025

Elizabeth, NJ

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nelson Hurtado Franco, who departed this life peacefully at home on July 8, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

Nelson was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose warmth, generosity, and quiet strength touched all who knew him. Born with a deep sense of humility and an unwavering work ethic, he built a life rooted in faith, family, and love.

Whether through his comforting presence, wise counsel, or infectious laughter, Nelson had a remarkable ability to bring people together and lift their spirits. He took pride in the simple joys of life—sharing a meal, telling stories, tending to his home, and watching his family grow.

"Those we love never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they showed, the comfort they shared, and the love they brought into our lives."

Family and friends are welcome to visit on Friday, July 11th from 4-8pm in Las Rosas Bannworth Funeral Home, 1055 E. Jersey Street Elizabeth, NJ 07201. 

A Funeral service will take place on Saturday, July 12th, 9am in the funeral home followed by a 10am Mass of Christian Burial in St. Mary's RCC, 232 Central Avenue Rahway, NJ.
