John Caruso Obituary

John Jerry Caruso, 68, passed away on February 20, 2025, peacefully at home. He was born to John and Beatrice Caruso on March 19, 1956 in Newark, New Jersey. He graduated from Bloomfield High, class of '73. John married his love, Peggy Staub, on September 19, 1980. They shared 38 years in marriage and raised 2 children. John was a devoted family man, who worked hard to give his family a warm and loving home, and who went out of his way to show kindness to others. He loved his God Jehovah, and it brought him great joy to share the Bible's promise of living forever in paradise on earth with no more pain, sickness, or suffering. (Revelation 21:3,4) His strong faith in the face of a prolonged terminal illness was a true inspiration to others. He was always so loving, positive and kind-hearted. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him. We look forward to seeing him strong and healthy in the near future. John is survived by his daughter and her husband, Miranda and Sean Gilchrist, his mother Beatrice Caruso, and his brother Joseph Caruso. He was preceded in death by his wife Margaret Caruso, his son Robert Caruso, his sister Ann Valvano, and his Father John A. Caruso. According to his wishes there will be no public service. The Kresge Funeral Home, 1763 Route 209, Brodheadsville, has been entrusted with the arrangements. www.kresgefuneralhome.com To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of John, please visit our floral store.
