Geoff Rothrock, 55 yrs old from Surfside Beach SC, passed away peacefully in his home with his wife by his side on April 29, 2025.
He was a man of few words always with a kind ear and earnest heart. He and his wife loved going on cruises and visiting new places. Geoff was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and could be found on Sundays cheering them on, even when he and his wife were on a cruise ship. He loved laying on the beach soaking up the sun while listening to good music. He enjoyed game night competing with family playing board games. In the in-between times, Geoff's favorite pastime was being in the comfort of his home binge watching Netflix series with his wife, Pam, and his little dog, Paisley Boo, who loved cuddling with him on the sofa.
One of Geoff's greatest gifts was becoming a "Dede" to his amazing granddaughters. He was the best Dede a child could ever ask for. He was so proud of them and loved going to visit them in Florida but also the many visits to Surfside where they would inevitably wind up by the pool splashing and playing.
Surviving in addition to his wife, Pam Rothrock are his parents Steve and Pam Rothrock and brother Benji Rothrock, of Lancaster, SC, sister Kristen Mason (Phillip) of Winston Salem, NC, a stepdaughter, Lindsey Floyd and granddaughter Teagan, of Orlando, FL, stepson Grayson Norville of Greenville, SC, In addition to these family members are his father and mother-in-law, Stan and Libby Price, of Murrells Inlet, SC, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Carroll and Phyllis Sheldon of Greenville, SC.
A young and gentle man taken much too soon, he will be missed by all that knew and loved him.
His wife with a very heavy heart sends with a kiss - "It took us a lifetime to find the kind of love we both knew existed, only to lose it so quickly. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. You have been my husband, my best friend, my everything. I will see you on the other side."

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am SO sorry, to hear about Geoff´s passing....Im an old high school friend, and hadn´t seen him in years, because I moved away from Lancaster, too...

But in the few short years of high school, we were definitely in a tight circle of friends. We did quite a bit of "stupid teenager stuff", but we all looked after each other. "Jeff" as we knew him back then, was "usually" the voice of reason!

He was kind, gentle, and had an absolutely hilarious sense of humor! In fact, his Stepfather, Steve, had a really nice, Porsche 928s, back then.. After the movie, "Ferris Bueller´s Day Off", came out, we all "ribbed" Jeff about having a similar day, with that car...

His answer, was always clear, and decisive...
"Uh, yeah, but...That Ain´t EVER Happening." And it never did. I´m sure that Steve and Pam (his Mom) appreciated that! They raised him very well!

And that´s just ONE reflection that I have, about this wonderful, kind, gentle BEAR of a Man. He really could make anyone smile, with just a simple gesture, laugh, or an "eye squint", (which usually happened when he was laughing, and we did a LOT of that!). Jeff was truly, One of a Kind!!

I had the benefit of knowing him, as a teenager.. That was a while back, and I never got to meet his wife, Pam...but I hope to, someday....my absolute condolences to HER. I know she feels a loss, that cannot be healed...I´m so sorry, Pam.

I have a lot of great memories of "young Jeff". He was a great friend, and human being, even waay back then. As an old friend, my heart breaks, too.

But I am thankful, and blessed, to have had a brief friendship with Jeff...he was "something else"....and I am glad to have known him...I will miss him, dearly, until we meet again - on the "other side"...
