Miguel Echevarria

Dr. Miguel Echevarria, of Florham Park, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Lima, he carried with him a deep appreciation for family, friends, and culture throughout his life. He came to the United States in 1975 where he established a respected career as a pathologist.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, he found great joy in the arts, particularly with music, where he would always comment on the beauty of certain pieces.

Above all else, he treasured his family and friends and believed strongly in keeping loved ones connected no matter the distance. He was often the one to bring people together, making sure everyone stayed in touch and remained close. His warmth, guidance, and devotion created a lasting bond among family and friends that will continue for generations.
