Kiley Anne Armstrong entered eternal rest on Friday, March 7, 2025. She was 21.

According to her obituary, she was born at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Brick, New Jersey on Wednesday, April 23, 2003 to loving parents Phillip C. and Jocelyn Armstrong, Kiley was a lifelong resident of Toms River.

She was a 2021 graduate of Toms River High School North, after which she attended the University of Massachusetts for two years, then transferred to Rowan University.

Kiley was on track to graduate this May with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science, and aspired to continue her education with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Kiley has spent the last few summers working at the B&B Department Store in Lavallette during her college breaks and has also completed an internship as a Physical Therapy Aide at JAG Physical Therapy located on Fischer Boulevard in Toms River.

In October 2020, Kiley's family began to frequently hear the name "Evan" mentioned in everyday discussions, and this trend continued unabated. The following month, she began a relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Evan Fiore, and they quickly fell deeply in love, becoming inseparable – a truly harmonious pairing. Her decision to transfer from UMass to Rowan was not merely coincidental; it was significantly influenced by her desire to be closer to her family and Evan.

Kiley enjoyed spending quiet nights hanging out with Evan and being with family and friends as much as anything. She annually looked forward to Christmas in Cape May, the Spring Baking Championship, summers spent on the beach, and most recently, double dates with Krista and Ryan, any and every chance they had. She also loved Mario Tennis & Soccer, line dancing, country music, and most recently, snowboarding with Evan. Among her most cherished possessions were a wide variety of stuffed animal friends, including a particular favorite in Snoopy.

She will be as deeply missed as she was deeply loved by all of those who knew her best.

Kiley was predeceased by Fraternal Grandparents Phillip F. and Helen Armstrong, and by a Maternal Grandfather, Joseph Hernandez. She is survived by a great many relatives and close friends, including Parents Phillip C. and Jocelyn Armstrong, Siblings Phillip J. & his wife Jessica, Harper, and Identical Twin Krista, a Grandmother, Juanita Hernandez, and many close Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.

Evan Fiore entered eternal rest on Friday, March 7, 2025. He was 23. A lifelong resident of Toms River, Evan was born at Kimball Medical Center in Lakewood on Saturday, December 8, 2001 to loving parents Gerard J. Fiore, Jr. and Diana Fiore.

He was a 2021 graduate of Toms River High School North, where he played for the Mariners varsity ice hockey and track & field teams. Over his last years of high school, he earned multiple welding certificates from Ocean County Vocational Technical School.

He was on track to earn an Associate’s Degree from Ocean County College in May 2025. Evan worked as a Welder/Foreman for R&S Contracting for seven years, developing dreams of one day opening and managing his own business. Prior to that, throughout high school, Evan worked as a lifeguard in Seaside Park – a fitting vocation, considering his constantly active nature, and one in which he once notably came to the rescue of a swimmer in distress.

Evan loved playing hockey, snowboarding, surfing, weightlifting, and getting his truck stuck in the sand pits with his friends (even if getting it back out could tend to be a bit of a pain), and was an avid fan of country music and pro hockey. Evan quickly accomplished one goal in particular that can often prove so elusive for so many – he found the love of his life. He and his Girlfriend, Kiley Armstrong, met at Toms River North, and were inseparable for four and a half years, enjoying spending time with mutual friends, vacationing in Cape May, dining out at their favorite restaurants, and sharing each other’s company. Evan was kind, and loved being with his sisters.

He was good-natured, even in hard times. And he was consistently calm under pressure, a trait that tended to rub off on others. He managed to leverage that calmness into successfully pulling off an extraordinarily wide range of practical jokes, which he savored with an inexhaustible sense of good humor. No one who knew Evan well got to enjoy enough time with him. But all of them are forever grateful they got the time with him they did.

Evan was predeceased by a Grandfather, Don Voorhees. He is survived by a long and loving list of relatives, including Mother Diana Fiore (Voorhees), Father Gerard J. Fiore, Jr., and Stepmother Alban Fiore (DeLorenzo), all of Toms River, as well as Siblings Emma Richardson, Gabriella Fiore, Mila Fiore, and Giada Fiore, along with a very large extended family.
