Daniel Pagan, 75, of Clifton passed away on October 19, 2024. Born in Isabela, Puerto Rico, he came to the US in 1970 and settled in Passaic. Daniel worked in the maintenance department for the Passaic Board of Education for many years before retiring.

Daniel is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Alice (Mojica) Pagan, who stood by his side through every chapter of their life together, their love an unshakable foundation. Together, they built a family rooted in love, respect, and devotion. His three daughters, Lissette Chacon and her husband Anthony, Melissa Astengo and her husband Ricky and Melanie Pagan, were the light of his life, each one a testament to the love and guidance Daniel provided as a father. He also leaves behind five grandchildren, Joel, Anthony, Evan and Emily Chacon and Sierra Astengo, and four great-grandchildren, Damian, Grayson, Blaze and Tyson, each touched by his generosity, wisdom, and endless patience. Dear brother of Alcides, Jamie, and Ana Delia Pagan and the late Aida and Manuel Pagan.
