Geoffrey was the Prince of our Family. He set the Stage for Kindness and Human Decency through his Warm and Tender Understanding and it permeated Everyone Around Him in a Subtle, Spiritual, Mysterious Fog that Never Drew Attention that He was Responsible for What Everyone was Feeling. He Soft, Gentle Nature was Never about Himself,....God had Touched His Humble Soul to the Depth´s of a Martyr. Take Care of Us Geoffrey, We Love You

Geoff,
I meet you in summer school between my freshman and sophomore year in high school. We hung out at your house all summer and you accepted me as an equal even though I was a few grades under you. I knew that summer that you where one of the nicest people I would be blessed enough to meet. I will miss you until I see you again and thank you for being my friend and showing me kindness. I will send prayers to your family that they will find comfort in this time of sorrow. My friend I will miss you.
<3

I haven't seen Geoff since high school. In my mind's eye he will forever be the 19 year old with the mop of blond hair and sly grin. He had a way of making you laugh even if you didn't think you could. My heart goes out to Chris and his family. He will be dearly missed.

To the family of Geoffrey, I have known Geoffrey for about 15 years. I work at Sutter and I drew his blood test. He always put a Happy Face on my register sheet and I knew it was him. His warmth and kindness shown through to me. He took the time to contact with others, and I'm sadden to know I won't have this to look forward to. I pray for you all and trust God's presence is with you in this great loss. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful son with me. Cheryl Atwell

I haven't seen Geoff in many years. I remember playing with them frequently and I also remember both the boys climbing on our roof? on South Apple Court. Great memories...what a sad day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To the Thomas Family,
I went to high school with Geoff and his brother Christian and although I haven't seen Geoff in years, he will be missed by me. Geoff, was so nice and he always made me laugh and smile whenever I did talk to him. I remember he said something to me that made me laugh uncontollably for like 5 minutes straight. :)
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Christian & family
I'm soooo sorry to hear of your loss. At school we all knew that Geoff had heart problems but as teenagers you think everyone will survive and live long lives. Kelli Fitzgerald emailed to tell me the news. It just sucks losing someone you love. We lost our third child about two years ago and it was totally devastating. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking & praying for you and your family (even though I haven't seen you guys in a long long time).

We knew Geoffrey from Antioch Music Academy. My children decided that the Angels harps were a little quiet, they needed a drummer. Geoffrey was an extremely kind man, always had a compliment for all the students. We were blessed to have known him. Jane, Chris, Chase and Alyssa Jennewine

,....Geoffrey, your unconditional love was only equal by one other man, and you are now sitting next him. Your tender passion touched everyone,...your humor, lifestyle, and devotion to life without complaining as to why you had to bear the cross for so many of us is engraved in the hearts of everyone who knows you. You will truly be missed young man, but we know your new life will be without pain. "Thank you for coming into our life!"

I feel so blessed to have my life touched by Geoffrey. He is a very special friend of mine. I met Geoffrey at Stanford when he got his new heart. He influenced my life in many ways, especially when it came to music and healing. He certainly was an angel sent into my life and many others. He will be greatly missed. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
