Obituary
STANTON, Donald J. on April 16, 2017 of River Vale, N.J.
It is with great sadness that the family of Donald Joseph Stanton, 30, from River Vale, NJ., announce his passing after losing a ten-year hard-fought battle with a heroin dependency. Donald is predeceased by his father, Jorge Garcia. He is survived by his Daddy, Thomas A. Finn Jr., his mother, Rita Stanton, his brother, Thomas A. Finn III, his sister, Bari-Michelle Pallarino, his grandmother, Veronica Stanton, and was loved by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Donald adored his sneaker collection, sports, and eating sushi. He was known for making everyone around him burst out in laughter. Even throughout his battle, Donald was always willing to lend a helping hand. Although Donald's story was cut short, we hope that it inspires others struggling with substance abuse; as no family should ever have to bury their child. Funeral from the A.K. Macagna Funeral Home 495 Anderson Avenue Cliffside Park, N.J. on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 9:00am thence to Holy Trinity R.C. Church in Fort Lee, N.J. where a Funeral Mass will be offered at 10:00am. Entombment to follow at George Washington Memorial Park Mausoleum in Paramus, N.J. The family will receive their friends Friday 4-9pm. In lieu of flowers, those who so desire may make donations in memory of Donald to Eva's Village: Substance Use Disorders Treatment for Men, 393 Main St Paterson, NJ 973-523-6220.
