Christopher J Nurse

Christopher Jason Nurse, 38, of Stroudsburg, PA departed this life on February 7, 2022. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones. Christopher is survived by his parents, Joy Arcia, and David Henry; his daughter April Nurse; his godson Damian Rodriguez; two brothers Daniel Hartley and Joel Henry; his grandmother Bertha Nurse; and a host of friends and family in both the United States and Trinidad and Tobago. Born in Norfolk, Virginia and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Christopher made his home in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Because he embodied the swagger of the city he grew up in, his friends knew him as Brooklyn. His lightheartedness and awesome sense of humor made him the life of the party. He will be remembered for his upbeat and outgoing personality and the ease with which he made friends. Growing up, Christopher enjoyed spending summers in Virginia with his Auntie/second mom Rosemarie Barnes, and his cousins Denny and Leighandra. Christopher was a devoted father to his daughter April. She was his pride and his motivation. He will be especially missed by Edwin Rodriguez and Victoria Farrell who loved Christopher like family. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the physicians, nurses, and paramedics at St. Luke’s Monroe Campus for their care and compassion.
