Geoffrey Galdieri Obituary
Born in Scranton, he was a son of Richard and Laura Fazzi Galdieri of Clarks Summit. He was a 2016 graduate of Abington Heights High School and was employed by Nina's Pizza while preparing to continue his education in the fall. He was a member of the church of St. Benedict, Newton Twp.
Geoffrey enjoyed basketball, music festivals, skiing, skateboarding, swimming, soccer and spending time with his friends. Geoffrey was a free spirit and had the most kind and gentle soul. He lived his life extremely without prejudice. He loved all people equally. He was the shining light in all the lives he had touched. Although he was on this Earth for a short 19 years, memories of him will remain in the hearts of those he loved for their lifetimes. After meeting Geoff, you knew you had met someone truly special.
Also surviving are two brothers, Randy Galdieri and his wife, Diana, Scranton, and their children Cally, Alyviah, Landon and Lucas; Anthony Galdieri and his wife, Ashley, Dunmore; a sister, Kayla Galdieri and her companion, Johnny Brayer, Clarks Summit; maternal grandparents, Vincent and Dee Fazzi, Scranton; paternal grandfather, John Vincent Galdieri, Scranton; Geoffrey's longtime companion, Catie Gilbride, Clarks Summit; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and great friends whom he loved dearly.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Gertrude Galdieri.
A memorial blessing service will be conducted by Monsignor Joseph G. Quinn, pastor, on Saturday at 10 a.m. from the Church of St. Benedict, 1849 Newton Ransom Blvd., Clarks Summit. All those attending are asked to go directly to the church. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family.
The family will receive friends Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Geoffrey's name to the charity of the donor's choice.

Geoff was such a good kid, he was very respectful, and we always had a good time busting each other's chops at the Skatepark. Everyone at Underwood liked geoff, he was one of the good guys in this world. He will truly be missed.
