With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, we mourn the tragic passing of Kiley Armstrong, a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, who lost her life in a devastating car accident on Friday, March 7, 2025. Kiley, 21, and her boyfriend, Evan Fiore, 23, were tragically taken from this world when an unlicensed driver, traveling at over 100 miles per hour, ran a red light and struck their vehicle in Toms River, New Jersey. Their lives were taken too soon, leaving behind a heartbroken family, grieving friends, and a community shaken by this senseless loss.
Kiley was a radiant soul, known for her kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for those around her. She shared an unbreakable bond with her twin sister, Krista, who, along with 19-year-old Ryan Chapman, remains in critical condition following the accident. Kiley’s presence lit up every room she entered, and her laughter brought joy to all who knew her. Her love for life was evident in her dreams, her friendships, and the deep connection she shared with Evan. Their love story, cut tragically short, was one of devotion and hope for a future they never got to see.
In the wake of this heartbreaking tragedy, the Armstrong, Fiore, and Chapman families are rallying to support Krista and Ryan’s recovery while preparing to lay Kiley and Evan to rest together, honoring the love they shared. A GoFundMe campaign, organized by Cole Crozier and Brady Bryson, has been established to help cover medical expenses, funeral costs, and any legal expenses the families may face. The overwhelming outpouring of support has been a testament to the lives Kiley and Evan touched.
The Armstrong, Fiore, and Chapman families released a heartfelt message expressing their gratitude: “We would like to send our sincerest appreciation and thanks to everyone near and far who have shown us love and support during this devastating time. The road ahead is long, but your kindness gives us strength to keep going.”
Authorities have confirmed that the driver responsible for the crash, a juvenile, was fleeing from police at speeds reaching 118 mph in a 35 mph zone. He now faces multiple charges, including aggravated manslaughter, aggravated assault, and vehicular homicide. The tragic and preventable nature of this accident has left a community demanding justice while mourning the loss of two bright young lives.
Kiley Armstrong will be remembered for her kindness, her dreams, and the love she shared with those around her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. As her loved ones navigate this painful journey, they find solace in the moments they shared and the love that will never fade.
Rest in peace, Kiley. Gone but never forgotten.
