Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 3, 2018.
It is with great sadness that the family of Eric Geiger announces his passing after a year long battle with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at the age of 36. Eric will be forever remembered by many friends and family including his mother Laurie, sister Amy (Mike) Manelli, sister Alison (Mike) Miller, and his nieces Quinn and Nicole Manelli. Eric had a generous spirit and gentle soul. He loved good food, music, cooking and his Chicago sport teams. A visitation with the family will be held on Saturday, October 6, 2018 from 12 PM until the memorial service at 2 PM at North Northfield United Methodist Church located at 797 Sanders Road in Northbrook (NE corner of Sanders Rd and Dundee Rd). In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the JourneyCare Foundation (2050 Claire Court, Glenview, IL 60025 or journeycare.org) or the Cancer Wellness Center (215 Revere Dr, Northbrook, IL 60062 or cancerwellness.org).

Hard to believe that 3 years have gone by since Eric's passing. Many miss him greatly, and he is definitely safe in heaven, and out of pain. God Bless him.

I'm so sorry to hear this! I lived next door to Eric in college, and I have so many fond memories of hanging out with him. I'll always remember how much he loved his roommate's dog, Rocky (rock solid), the zingers he'd pull seemingly out of nowhere, and how he always had a big grin on his face. What a loss of a joyful soul.

My deepest condolences to you all. Spending time with Eric was always a pleasure. Always fun to be around, with never a bad word about anyone. Introduced me to some of my favorite bands too. Loved the guy.
Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed.

I'm so thankful for the precious time we had at Alison's wedding. Eric told me I was his "favorite aunt who is always having fun." Eric had a sweet personality and his soul was genuine. I will miss my Eric.
