Jeffrey Goldfuss Obituary
2/28/1973 - 4/7/2020
Jeffrey A. Goldfuss, 47, of East Stroudsburg, passed away on Tuesday April 7, 2020 while in the care of the Lehigh Valley Hospital- Pocono. Born in State College, Pennsylvania on February 28, 1973, he was the loving son of Dr. Arnold J. and Nancy (Yebernetsky) Goldfuss.
Jeffrey graduated from the Stroudsburg High School and the Monroe County Vocational Schools Class of 1994. After high school, he was employed for 26 years at the Burnley Workshop of the Poconos. Jeffrey was a part of many programs through the years including the ESU Zimbar Swim and Gym program, YMCA Pocono Swim and Gym, Pocono RISE therapeutic horseback riding where he received many trophies. Jeffrey loved feeding the birds, patriotic music, bowling and swimming and hitting golf balls with his daddy, but what he loved most was spending time with his family vacationing at the Jersey Shore, going to Knoebels, and going out to dinner with his favorite spot being the Arlington diner where he became friends with many servers. Jeffrey's neighbors found it soothing to watch him outside in nature feeding the birds or gathering pinecones. He will be lovingly remembered for his quirky sense of humor and his bubbly personality. He loved to make people laugh and smile. He loved Life.
Those left to cherish is memory in addition to his beloved mother Nancy are many aunts and uncles along with numerous cousins and many friends of the community.
Jeffrey is predeceased by his father Dr. Arnold J. Goldfuss.
A special thank you to Nat Hicks, Tanya and King Beers and the Staff at the Burnley Workshop who have become extended family through the years and also the women of the Moose who every year hosted Halloween and Christmas parties for special needs children.
A private burial will take place at the Prospect Cemetery.

Dear Aunt Nancy,
We are so sorry to hear of cousin Jeffrey's passing. He was obviously a delight, and a wonderful soul to everyone in his life - it clearly showed in the eyes of anyone who would talk about him. Carol of course always looked forward to phone conversations with you and him and she would beam afterwards.
It's impossible to know God's plan, but faith brings me assurance that God has a plan. I want to believe that the tragic death of such a wonderful person will invigorate those who knew him to find renewed passion in their faith, and to enhance their desire for justice and compassion throughout society. That does not ease the pain of Jeffrey's death feeling it was too soon, but it helps. You have our deepest sympathies; we pray for comfort for you, and pray that Jeffrey and Uncle Arnie are happily horseback riding in Heaven together.
With Love,
Tony, Jennie, and Isabella Carfang

Dear Aunt Nancy, I am so sad to hear the news of my cousin Jeffery. Every time my mom (Carol) would tell stories of spending time with Jeffery and speaking with him on numerous phone calls, her eyes would light up. It's that glow and sparkle that cousin Jeffery brought to so many of us! His positive attitude, love for life and nature, and charismatic humor will be remembers by us all. May you find peace and comfort in knowing how much we love you, Arnie and Jeffery.
