Jeffrey Stark Obituary
Let's make one thing clear: Firefighter Jeffrey Stark did the chest- thumping things, too.
He went hunting and fly fishing, he golfed and did carpentry — some activities with distinction, others with good humor. Relatively new to the department, and with two older brothers already there, he had some catching up to do, so he was always trying to hone his skills. Fires made him nervous but what he really dreaded, he told his girlfriend, was making mistakes in front of the other firefighters at Engine Company 230 in Brooklyn.
Tough-guy credentials established.
Because another truth about Firefighter Stark was that he must have dropped down here from Boyfriend Heaven.
Consider: he drove his girlfriend, Katharine Suarez, home every night from law school; took her food when she was studying; dropped off her laundry and picked it up; made three trips to the paint store without complaining when she changed her mind about the kitchen color; went out at 4 a.m. on a New Year's Eve looking for Band Aids for her nasty cut; researched recipes to entice her to eat her broccoli.
He was 30, he looked after his widowed mother, Rosemary, in Staten Island, and he had a quiet, unassuming way about him.
And a startling, melodic, high-pitched laugh.

Jeff,
20 years gone by. I think of the 2 lives you gave on 9/11, the one you were living and the one you'd be living today. I carry you in my heart everyday. I'm sure you and LaBarbs are together sharing laughs together. I miss your friendship till this day. You are not forgotten my friend.

I´m a volunteer firefighter in pa 309. I was given a card with your picture on it for the 911 20th anniversary. My cheif told me to look you up and find out about you. Your life. My son also was a volunteer firefighter he died when he was 32. Not from his work. I respect what you stood for and my prayers are with your loved ones. I will carry this card with me always.

Prayers to the family of Jeffrey. I learned about him this month in a roundabout way. His nephew has the same smile, bright eyes, and easy manner coupled with determination. Yesterday was a hard day, but he was at work all day. I will pray for Jeffrey's family every day until I can meet him and thank him for his courage on that dreadful day. God Bless.

I just did the 9/11 memorial challenge at Red Rocks outside of Denver. I had the honor of climbing the stairs in honor of Mr. Stark. Thank you.
September 11, 2011
I am a paramedic who ran a 9/11 memorial stair race of 110 stories to honor those who have fallen. Each race participant received a photo and small bio of one or two of the fallen. I received Jeffrey Stark. Through each and every step in what ended up being 220 story race (110 up and down) I held Jeffrey's photo in my hand. I looked at his face and prayed for his family. I would like to thank him for his service to our country. I feel like I helped him finish a race he, unfortunately, was only able to start.
Thank you Jeffrey
Sincerely and with respect,

To Jeffrey's family and loved ones:
His name always caught my eye because we have the same last name. Then I decided to search his name and I'm so glad I ran across this guest book to see his handsome smiling face and all of the wonderful comments people have left. There sure are a lot of Starks stopping by! My father is a fire chief down here in VA, so it must be something in the family line that turns men into heros. Just wanted to say, on this 7th anniversary of that horrible day, God bless, and may Jeffrey never be forgotten.

Its been six years since that horrible day we lost you. Not a day goes by that i dont look down at my old scratched bracelet with your name on it and think of you. Words cant even explain how much I and everyone else miss you. Although i was young when it happened i keep the memories we had close in my heart. I was looking through the entries and saw Johnny, Kathrine, and Aunt Dorothy wrote in here too. Sadly we lost Aunt Dorothy too to cancer about a year ago. I love you and am proud to say that you are my uncle.

While researching 6 years after the fateful day, I found Jeffery's guest book. I noticed several similarities -- of course the last name, however his birthday is the same day as my wedding anniversary, and he attanded Niagara University -- I live in western New York. Words can not express the sadness I feel, even to this day, for all who were lost that day. I have been involved with our local 9/11 services as a 25 year member, and Chaplain of the Eggertsville Hose Co. While I did not know Jeffrey, I feel a closeness of the firefighter bond, as well as the name Stark. Please know that God holds Jeffery, and the rest of New Yorks Bravest in his loving arms, where no pain or harm can come unto them for all eternity.
In Gods Love: Barry E. Stark
I close with this poem::
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am thinking about you on your 36th birthday. I remember your 30th, how we took the day off from work and spent the morning at Best Buy which led to lunch at McDonald's, pretty fancy!! I remember taking a picture of you coming through the doors. I also took a picture of your new truck, I think of you every time I see a red truck and of course, every time I smell Trident gum. The inside of your car always smelt like Trident. I remember how happy you were that I surprised you with getting your friends together that night. I still look at those pictures; you had the biggest smile on all night. I just never thought it would be your last birthday. Sometimes I forget so much stuff that happened. But I remember that day very clearly and think about it every year when your birthday comes around. Happy Birthday!!

It's been 4 and a half years, and finally it's stopped hurting to the point where I can go online and read these things. It amazes me how many people who know nothing more than a name have such wonderful things to say, and yet they don't know the half of it. On September 11 I lost more than an uncle, I lost a guy that let his 4 year old nephew rock out on his favorite guitar, who always had the coolest Christmas presents, and was the older brother that I never had. Not a day goes by that I don't look down at the bracelet on my wrist, see that name, and think about how much I miss him. Jeff Stark was a truly amazing individual, and he is missed by so many people. If I live to be 100 I hope I have the opportunity to make half the impact on people that he did. I miss you Uncle Jeff, and when someday comes we're going to have a lot of catching up to do.

I have a cousin named Jeff Stark. After I read all of the nice comments about Jeffrey, I thought I would mention that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about my American friends and all that happened. I admire every single one of you for your courage, determination and love of life.
God Bless.

Jeff,
I will forever have a fantastic memory of you:
You, Steve B., Ray B. and Richie L., hanging out, sitting on the hood of my '78 Monte Carlo in, about, '91 or so. You guys were laughing at God knows what so hard. I mean bent over, crying laughing. And when I asked if you guys were making fun of me (being "guys" and all), you looked at me so sincere and said, "I would never make fun of you, KC." It was at that moment I knew you were my friend.
When I found out you were one of the fallen FDNY, I just couldn't believe it. I hadn't seen any of you guys in so long. And do I regret it now. But, on this two year anniversay, the memory of you I have and will always keep is the one of that day and your great, dimpled smile. After 9/11, I have tried many times to explain to my husband what a cool person you were, but he'll never truly know. But I and so many others do. We were all lucky to have you in our lives, even if for just a short while.
I wish your family, friends and your girlfriend my deepest, deepest sympathies. I know the pain will probably never truly leave, but, hopefully, with each day, and hearing and reading the great (and fun) memories of you, the memories of good times with you, will maybe help ease it just a bit. I truly hope that for them.

I did not know you but I was give a 9/11 braclet with your name on it. I wanted to know more about you than just your name and CO #.You were truly a remarkable young man. My heart goes out to your girlfriend and family for their loss. I have some friends who are firefighters and I feel that I am one of the lucky one's because they came home. God bless you and thank you for being my hero.
Jeffrey Stark
September 12, 2002
I was deeply moved when I saw a young man with my very same name who lost his life on 9/11/01. It was the name that really made me "stop" and give reflection on a much deeper level of the very special people that were lost that day. Jeffrey was 30 years old, but died a hero. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. God bless you - my prayers are with you. May you find peace.

Jeff --
I will never forget the promise you made to us when we got together for the last time shortly before 9/11...you promised to get all of us together with the guys from the "neighborhood." Even in heaven, you kept your promise to us...we got together at your memorial to remember what a truly wonderful person you were. You are a hero to everyone and you will never be forgotten. We all love you and miss you so much and take comfort in knowing that we now have a true guardian angel in heaven.

Even though I did not have the pleasure of knowing you, Jeff, I have stitched your name and the NY Firefighter shield on the Memorial Flag Project, to honor your memory. This project has the hand stitched names of all Americans who died as a result of terrorist actions. I will keep your family and friends in my prayers and hope that one day in our lifetimes, there will be no more terrorist actions and we will all live in peace.

Rarely in life do you meet a person who is as likable as you were, Starkster. It seems like yesterday when we were hanging out at the pond or claypit. As life changes and befalls us with unexpected tragedies, we can hold dear the memories of Good friends close to our hearts and remember the smiles and the laughs. You will never be forgotten.

I can remember the last time I saw you Jeff before I returned to school in August. I recalled how I didn't give you a big hug goodbye as I got into my car outside the apartment that night but reassured myself that I would see you again soon...how wrong I was. It is still so hard to believe what has happened- even after all this time. And didn't Katharine always tell you..." If it looks real bad Jeff, run for the hills"...but why are we not the least bit surprised that is exactly what you didn't do. It didn't take what happened that day for us to realize the kind of person you were- it only made it more real for us and the rest of the world that you were a selfless man and always prepared to do the right thing. Katharine misses you so much Jeff and the nights that she falls asleep on the couch I look over at her and pray that you will visit her in her dreams. We talk about you often and find ourselves laughing and crying while remembering all the laughs we had. We look forward to the day when the memories of you only bring smiles and laughter- the two things you did best. May God bless you and keep you safe Jeffrey and we pray that you found joy and comfort in the familiar arms that greeted you when you left us. I am sad that you will not be the brother-in-law I looked forward to having but will think of just as that... always.

The world is a sadder place without your wonderful sense of humor and constant smile. You are already missed so much by many, many people. My prayers are with your family and loved ones left behind. I know what they are going through and can only hope that someday at least some of the pain will go away. God bless you Jeff. I miss you.

I did not know Jeffrey Stark. On a recent night while listening to the radio, I heard about Mercy Bands. I am an EMT in Charlotte North Carolina and decided to purchase one. I requested a randon name of a firefighter from FDNY, and when the bracelet arrived, it was Jeffrey's name engraved on it. Wanting to see the picture of the man whose name i will wear proudly on my wrist for the rest of my life, I found this site. Please know that I, a total stranger, will wear this bracelet and remember his heroism and sacrifices for his country forever. I grieve for this young man who had so much to give, and for his family and friends who have lost a most beloved person. God bless all of you, and God bless Jeffrey and all of my fellow Americans whose lives have been cut short. May Jeffrey rest in peace.

Jeffrey-
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
I can't believe it's been over 20 years since we first met at St. Clare's.
I will never forget your smile, those dimples, and that hysterical giggle! I wonder if you're still ticklish??
The Italian Festivals, the zepolli's, and that silly dance you used to do in Ms. McGee's math class "Everybody Rhombus"...you were crazy!!
Always talking about your older brother John and you had one of the coolest Mom's for "lunch-duty".
God, I still can't believe that was 20 years ago.
I will never forget Lisa's 4th grade Halloween party and how you let me "wear your tie" in the school-yard!!
I wish we hadn't lost touch over the years.
My heart and prayers go out to you Katharine, Mrs. Stark and your entire family.
Jeffrey was a wonderful, funny, genuine and extraordinary person.
Cherish the years you had with him, know that he is watching over you and that one day we will all meet again!
Jeffrey, I will miss you!!!

I can only say that not a day has gone by that both Uncle Bob and myself do not think of you. Although we did not see you but at family functions, we loved you dearly and tell anyone who did not know you personally, that you were the sweetest, happiest and loving person. Can't get those big dimples of yours out of our minds too.

Dear Jeff,
I do not have the words to express what you mean to me. Thinking of all the plans we made and the life we had hoped to share, I can't even begin to imagine living my life without you. You made my life so enjoyable. I loved knowing that I would see you and your beautiful smile at the end of each day. You have left me with wonderful memories that will now have to last my lifetime. I was certainly blessed for the time I had with you. You were and will always be a part of me, forever in my heart. I will do my best to live a life that would make you proud, because you lived a life, Jeff, that made me very proud.
Until I see you again...
Love Always, Katharine

Go with God my brother,

We thank Jeffrey for dedicating his life to helping others every time he was called out. We know he must have had a very warm and caring heart to have dedicated his life to firefighting. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
