Officer Jose Alberto Duran, Jr.

José Duran, 55, of Queens, NY Beloved husband, father, Marine veteran, and public servant

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of José Duran, age 55, of Queens, New York. José was tragically taken from us far too soon. A devoted husband to Tinesha Duran, loving father to Justin, Kiana, and Imani, dedicated son to Maria Teresa Bozano and the late Jose A. Duran, Marine veteran, and proud public safety officer, José lived a life rooted in service, laughter, and love.

José proudly served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve for six years, a commitment that reflected his lifelong dedication to protecting others. After his time in the Marines, he continued to serve his community as a public safety officer - a role he took great pride in. Whether in uniform or in his everyday life, José never stopped showing up for the people around him.

José was a proud and loving father to Justin, Kiana, and Imani, whom he adored beyond words. To his family, he was everything - a steady hand, a fierce protector, and a man who showed his love through both action and presence. As a husband, he was loving, loyal, and full of heart.

José is survived by his wife Tinesha, his mother Maria, his children Justin, Kiana, and Imani, his sisters Martha Duran, Jackie Duran - Garces, and Bertha Lopez, his nephews and his nieces - all of whom loved him deeply and will carry his memory forward every day. His absence leaves a hole that cannot be filled, but his spirit will live on in the community he served and the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
