Emmett Hopkins Varley, 38, of Ocean Township left this world suddenly on Friday, September 11, 2020 at Jersey Shore Medical Center. Emmett was the beloved son of Geraldine and Michael Varley of Allenhurst. He leaves behind the love of his life, Tiffany Varley, and their two gorgeous children, Emmett Jr. (11) and Tatum (8), his parents, brothers Michael, Rutledge, Myles and Greer, their spouses and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Emmett was a free spirit and one of a kind. He spent his youth traveling the country, seeking adventure and action through his sports of choice; skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, and hiking.
His work ethic was incredible, he was proud to be a foreman and brother of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees Union in NYC since 2012. He was a member of Allenhurst Beach Club and a parishioner of St. Mary's Church, Deal.
Emmett had a larger than life personality and he could light up a room within seconds. He was magnetic, people were drawn to his infectious, full of life energy. He was an amazing husband, father, son and friend and adored by all. He was a true legend. Emmett will be greatly missed and never forgotten by all who loved him.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones. Rest In Peace! Emmett.
Our deepest condolences to the Varley Family. Sincerely & Love , Claire and Peter Glover
