Geoffrey FITZPATRICK

GEOFFREY LEWIS FITZPATRICK Geoffrey Lewis Fitzpatrick born in Toronto, Ontario, on March 26, 1958, and passed away in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 21, 2023, at the age of 65. Geoff was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Frances Fitzpatrick. He is survived by his cherished daughter, Alex (Boushee); his siblings, Brian, Carey (Ray), David and Philip (Dayna); and many nieces and nephews whom he loved deeply. Also survived by Sue, who was there until the end. Geoff will be remembered for his incredible sense of humour, his ability to light up the room, his adventurous spirit, his love for art and music, his natural athletic abilities and the deep relationships he had with family and friends throughout his life. He was always the cool dad and uncle, and his zest for life was infectious - he was fun in the purest sense of the word. He was the coach that every kid wanted, whether it was soccer, tennis, skiing on the hill or on the water, he was there to support. Geoff possessed a rare intellect and the ability to make everyone around him feel like they mattered. He was an accomplished sales professional, a gifted musician and artist. He would play the drums 'at warp 9' in his in-law's basement in Burlington and loved riffing in his Jazz Club. His paintings will live with us forever as a constant reminder of his incredibly creative mind. Geoff loved travelling, often resulting in a memorable outcome like driving on the cliffs of the Amalfi coast… too fast, as always. During his travels, his favourite dish was linguine vongole, and for dessert, a Marlboro Red. One of his favourite places in the world was Muskoka, with fond memories of him dancing on the rock at Governor's Island, blasting Steely Dan and playing rounds of Backgammon with his dear friends, Rob Kellock and Geoff Hogarth. At Geoffrey's request, there will be no service at this time. In the summer of 2024 we will honour him in Muskoka.
