Donald Robert Hess Jr. Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on December 11, 2025, at the age of 66, Donald Robert Hess Jr. of Brick, New Jersey passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
Though Donald may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Donald touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
He is survived by: his wife Kathleen Hess (Giaccio); his daughters, Meghan Kalarjian (Brian) of Howell and Elizabeth Hess (Andy Herbert) of Point Pleasant; his grandchildren, Aubrey, Hayley and Charles Kalarjian; and his nephew Eric Groething of Dunellen.
