“GoFundMe Page Started for Orlando Feliciano, Victim Killed in Workplace Accident at Fenix Auto Parts in Woodbridge”

Accident – death – Obituary News : Woodbridge, NJ — A tragic incident occurred on December 28 at Fenix Auto Parts in Woodbridge, resulting in the death of a man identified as Orlando Feliciano, aged 38. In light of this devastating event, a GoFundMe page has been created to support Feliciano’s grieving family. He leaves behind his wife and two children, a 12-year-old girl, and a 2-year-old boy, residing in Somerset.

Feliciano was an employee at Fenix Parts on Leesville Avenue in Avenel, where the incident took place. According to Woodbridge Police, he was involved in a fatal workplace accident. The incident occurred at 5:31 a.m. when Feliciano was tragically crushed by a loading ramp. It is believed that he was underneath the ramp when it fell on him, leading to his untimely demise.

The cause of the loading ramp’s collapse is currently under investigation. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has taken over the case and is expected to release its official determination within the next six months. OSHA’s investigation aims to shed light on the circumstances that led to Feliciano’s tragic death.

Friends and family have described Feliciano and his wife, Carmen, as an exceptional couple who brought blessings to their church and community. They have referred to his passing as a tragic accident, which has caused considerable emotional and financial hardships for the family.

To ease the burden on Feliciano’s two children, the public is being asked to contribute to a GoFundMe campaign established in their name. Any support from the community would be greatly appreciated by Carmen and her children, as they navigate this difficult period.

A celebration of Orlando Feliciano’s life will be held on Monday night, January 8, at the family’s church in Somerset.

It is worth noting that Fenix Parts Rahway, the same auto parts shop involved in this incident, has previously faced fines for workplace safety violations. NJ.com reported that in 2020, the shop received three citations from the U.S. Department of Labor for failing to provide adequate respiratory protection to workers. These violations were classified as “serious,” and Fenix Parts had to pay a fine of $5,783.

In conclusion, the Woodbridge community mourns the loss of Orlando Feliciano and rallies together to support his grieving family. The investigation into the accident continues, and OSHA’s findings are awaited.
