It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Paul Hrustic, 64, of Iselin, New Jersey, who entered eternal rest on December 4, 2025. Born with a generous heart and an infectious sense of humor, Paul devoted his life to caring for others, strengthening his community, and uplifting everyone he encountered.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Carrie, with whom he shared a devoted and joyful marriage, and his cherished son, Kyle and loving daughter-in-law Sara, who were the pride of his life. He is also survived by his dear sister, Cindy, along with extended family members, colleagues, and countless friends whose lives were enriched by knowing him.
Professionally, Paul served with exceptional dedication as the Director of Operations for Specialty RX. His leadership was marked by integrity, compassion, and a commitment to excellence.
Paul was a man who believed in living fully and loving deeply. He enjoyed the simple and profound pleasures of life—spending time outdoors, shooting at the range, savoring high-quality scotch, and gathering with his loved ones. His sense of humor brightened every room, and his courage and boundless kindness were constants in his relationships.
Faith played a central role in Paul’s life. As a past member of St. John Vianney Parish, he served on the pre-cana team, guiding engaged couples as they prepared for marriage. He also acted with compassion and dignity as a Lazarus Minister, offering support to grieving families. Additionally, Paul was a Cub Master of Pack 523,
Paul’s generous spirit, unwavering loyalty, and the warmth he extended to others created a legacy that will continue to inspire those who were blessed to know him. He will be remembered not only for what he accomplished but for who he was—a devoted husband, loving father, loyal friend, and true example of kindness in action.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Gosselin Funeral Home, with a Mass follow at St. Andrew’s Church in Avenel. NJ. Paul’s memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
