Angel M. Del Valle, long time resident of Hackettstown, NJ passed way in Morristown Hospital of heart failure, July 8, 2026. He was 70 years old. Angel passed peacefully with his best friend Edward Lemasters by his side.
He was born on July 18, 1955 in Patchogue, Long Island. Angel was the son of Faustino and Vidalina Del Valle.
Angel found his was to Hackettstown from Carteret, NJ, buying a bus ticket to a quieter place making this his permanent home.
He loved to travel, to Florida to see his longtime friend Jolanta Greczel. He was also a crafter and loved to watch old movies. Halloween was one of his favorite holidays, spending hours working on next year’s costume. Christmas was also a favorite holiday for him. Cooking was a passion for him as well.
Whenever a good song came on, he would start to dance earning him the nickname, “Tiny Dancer”
Angel was a selfless, loving and kind man that would always take the time to say hello. He will be missed by many that knew him. Those that knew him well were treated as family to him. Like his sister, Dorothy Corchado, The Mews of Hackettstown, Dillion and Tim Lemasters.
He requested that there be no services for him at this time. We will be working on a celebration of life for him in the future.

July 14, 2026 at 10:59 amAngel you were more than just my best friend; you were my co-pilot in adventure and my partner in crime. Together, we wandered through countless cities and countries, radiating happiness and leaving beautiful footprints all over the world. I will always cherish how you let me talk you into grand, slightly intimidating adventures, only to embrace the joy and wonder of those moments afterward. You left this life entirely too early, my sweet friend. There was so much left on our bucket list, and so many miles left to walk together, even if we were only strolling through the quiet paths of the local botanical gardens. The world feels a little dimmer without you, and I will miss you so deeply.💔
