In Loving Memory of Jessica Sharp ~

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and untimely passing of Jessica Sharp, beloved Daughter of Stephanie and Danny Walsh and and the late James Lynch, loving Wife of Brett, devoted Mother of her sons Aaron and Evan, a cherished daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, niece, aunt and nurse practitioner, passed away on January 26, 2025, at the age of 41. Her light touched the lives of everyone she encountered, and her kindness, compassion, and unwavering strength will forever remain in our hearts.

Born on November 25, 1983 in Bayside, Queens, New York, Jessica was the daughter of Stephanie Walsh. She grew up in New York, where she cultivated deep family bonds and friendships that lasted a lifetime. As a graduate of Adelphi University, Jessica went on to become a world-class nurse, dedicating her career to caring for others at NYU & WakeMed. As a working mom, she then focused on obtaining her Masters Degree as a Nurse Practitioner and went to work for Eventus to apply her skills to help the elderly. Her passion for helping people was evident in every aspect of her work and life.

While in New York & working at NYU, Jessica married Brett Sharp, her soulmate and best friend, with whom she built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Aaron and Evan, who were the pride and joy of her life. Jessica was a devoted mother who cherished every moment with her boys, guiding them with love and nurturing their spirits.

As a sister-in-law, Jessica was more than family—she was a confidante, a source of encouragement, and a true friend. Her ability to make others feel loved and valued was unparalleled. She dedicated her life to caring for her family, friends, and patients, always putting their needs above her own. Whether it was preparing meals, offering wise advice, or sharing in joyous moments, Jessica had an extraordinary way of making every day brighter.

Jessica’s passions included creativity in all aspects of her life. She enjoyed gardening, crafting with her boys, and decorating her home. She enjoyed sharing her love of reading with her sons. Jessica’s zest for life is exhibited in her enjoyment of beach vacations and love of nature, especially butterflies, hummingbirds, bunnies and the majestic peacock. Jessica was best known for her kindness and her ability to make everyone she met feel special. She lived her life with purpose and grace, teaching those around her the importance of love, resilience, and gratitude.

Jessica is survived by her loving husband, Brett Sharp; her children, Aaron and Evan; her parents, Stephanie and Dan Walsh; and her extended family, including aunts, uncles, nieces, cousins, and in-laws, all of whom adored her. Her memory will live on in the countless lives she touched.

While we are heartbroken by this loss, we find comfort in knowing that Jessica’s legacy of love and compassion will endure. Rest in peace, Jessica.
