Born in Teaneck, Sajen’s sister, Cassandra, raised him until age four, when they moved in with their adoptive parents, his obituary says.

Sajen then grew up in Toms River before graduating from Manchester High School in 2014.

He was known for his passion for fishing, cooking breakfast and Italian specialities, and sharing his knowledge “about everything,” his memorial says.

“He was a lover of art and making people laugh, especially when they needed cheering up,” reads his obituary.

Above all, Sajen is remembered for embracing his role as a devoted dad to his loving daughter, Lucianna.

In addition to his daughter, Sajen’s surviving family members include his parents, Paul and Sandra Hendricks; his daughter, Lucianna Hendricks; his siblings, Cassandra Pisano, McKayla Hendricks, Jasmine Plummer, Daniel Plummer, Shawn Hendricks, Shannon Eswein and her husband Glen; his grandmother Norma Thornton, and many more.

Loved ones quickly took to social media to share thoughts and memories following Sajen’s tragic passing:

“Sajen was an absolute angel,” Debbie MC writes. “His laugh was the most contagious laugh in the world. He was so incredibly generous…he was always helping others and putting everyone else’s need before his.”

Sajen’s memorial is scheduled for Saturday, May 20 at the Carmona-Bolen Home for Funerals in Toms River.

“Sajen was a beloved father, son, brother, and friend who will be missed by all who knew him,” reads Sajen’s obituary.
