He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas James Geoghegan Sr., and his grandfathers, James Sullivan and William Geoghegan.
He is survived by his mother, Maureen Sullivan Geoghegan of Annapolis; both grandmothers, Lorriane Sullivan of Annapolis and Thelma Geoghegan of Salisbury; two brothers, Bryan (and his wife Erin) Geoghegan of Arnold and Chris Geoghegan of Alexandria, Va.; two nieces and two nephews; and his companion, Jessica Schmucker of Ocean City.

We sort of all grew up together, Tom, the oldest grandchild, and all of our younger ones that came along. A boisterous, lovely group of cousins. Searching for Pop Pops Fig Newtons and chocolate covered raisins. The leader of the pack will be sorely missed. God bless and keep him forever, and comfort and give solace to his family left behind. Our Eternal Hope - We Shall See Him Again.
