TOMS RIVER – Two communities are feeling the loss of a First Aid Squad member who passed away on January 25.
Sgt. Christopher Nagy was a member of the Toms River First Aid Squad, and a past member of the Pleasant Plains First Aid Squad and Brick First Aid Squad.
“This morning the world lost an amazing person,” read a statement from a family friend on the GoFundMe started to help cover expenses in his loss. “Chris was compassionate, smart, unbelievably caring and was always right there when you needed him. His beautiful wife, Rebecca, is feeling the ultimate loss right now. This was sudden and beyond unexpected. He was an EMT, nursing student, and PCT. He was selflessly devoted to taking care of others. Of course, this being so unexpected, it is hard to plan and take care of any medical expenses along with funeral funding. Rebecca and their family can use all the help possible. God Speed, brother.”
