Geoffrey Halaburt Obituary

Geoffrey M. Halaburt Geoffrey M. Halaburt passed away on October 20, 2021 at the age of 57 after a valiant battle with cancer. As with all things in his life, he approached this time with determination, positivity and splashes of humor. He passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones who will never forget his example in the face of adversity. Geoff is survived by his mother, Marguerite; his two siblings, Karen and John; as well as his extended family and an abundance of friends. Geoff's appreciation for bikes, cars, wine, art, music, and craftmanship were the stuff of legends. He forged many connections and friendships around these areas of interest and touched those who knew him. He was a big man with a kind heart.

I got to know Geoff over time from local activities. He attended many of our Speaker Series Events at Marin Museum of Bicycling. Geoff brought some magnificent wine to one of our events. I complimented him on the exceptional quality of the wine. At our next event he brought me a bottle of that wine. (which I'm guessing was quite expensive as it was a 2008) I still have the note written to me, attached to the bottle. I didn't know Geoff that well, but he gave me that bottle in appreciation for the events that he loved to attend. They were mostly about Bicycling -history, adventure, people. And that's what Geoff loved. I remember Geoff as quiet, and extremely modest -unless you mentioned a topic from his list of passions, then his eyes would light up and you would be eloquently regaled.

The cycling community is just that -a fellowship of individuals with a common passion. We can meet strangers at an event, a ride, or at the pub -and talk forever about these beloved contraptions that have become our lifestyle.

Geoff was a devoted acolyte of bicycles and bicycling, and he had a great nose for fine wine. Thank you Geoff. It was a privilege to have met you.
