Calixto (Cisco) Baez, 37, passed away on Tuesday January 19, 2021. Born and raised by his grandparents and mother Rosa Rivera in Newark NJ, Calixto was a devoted and loving son, brother, cousin, nephew, partner, and friend. All that knew him loved him. Calixto was the kind of person who took care of his family and put the needs of others before his own. He was dependable, kindhearted, and loyal. Calixto is survived by his parents, Rosa Rivera and Roberto Baez Sr, the love of his life and partner for over 10 years Jennifer Ferrara, his brother Roberto Baez Jr and his family, his sister Anna Marie Baez and his cousin Anna Doris Holloway, whom he considered his sister, and her family. This is a great loss to all that loved him, and he will be missed beyond measure.
Relatives and friends will be received at the S.W. Brown & Son Funeral Home, 267 Centre St. Nutley on Friday January 22 from 4-6 pm. A service will be conducted on Friday evening and burial will follow on Saturday at Arlington Cemetery in Kearny.
