Geoff Osterman

01/17/1974 - 09/05/2025

Geoff grew up in Corvallis, Oregon. He enjoyed football, soccer and wrestling during his school years, plus playing in the summer league softball. It was also during this time that Geoff developed an interest in cars and trucks. He enjoyed lowering them, installing a great sound system, and putting nice-looking wheels on each of his vehicles. Geoff worked a variety of jobs to fund his interests.

Geoff’s higher education was at Southern Oregon College, Oregon State University and University of San Francisco. He was introduced to several languages and experiences as he traveled the world with his job as a Digital Creator and Cloud Architect.

One of Geoff’s passions was motorcycle racing where he won numerous awards. He was also a professional Motorcycle Racer at California Supermoto. Other sports he enjoyed included both snow and water skiing, boating, and surfing. Geoff’s interest in vehicles evolved into a hobby of buying, repairing, customizing and selling them. Geoff took great pride in the final creation’s appearance and running condition.

Geoff lived his life with gentleness, a smile, and pride in things he accomplished. His extensive family and many groups of friends will deeply miss him.
