• Missing you a little extra. Love you the most 🩷 - Posted by: sailor schjerning (daughter) on: Aug 27, 2025

• Hi dad, its been 12 years. 12 years I have had to live without my dad. If you saw me today you would be proud. I have started going to car shows with crossy and some of my buddies. Guess what? I now want a fast car… maybe I will take after you and get a Mustang. I wish my first car show was with you but I know you were there in spirit. I am sitting here writing this at a lost for words of what to tell you. I miss you endless, everyday I think about you. Sometimes I laugh but most times I cry. I wish you did not have to leave so soon. Crossy and I are best friends, my gosh you would be proud of him. His nice car, his life ambitions, and all his accomplishments. I see every part of you in him and it makes me so proud to be his sister. I started going to car shows as a fun way to enjoy time with my friends but I realized it was more than just a fun time. It became a passion and I realized it made me feel closer to you. Everytime I see a cool car especially a Nustang I think of you. I think of how cool it would have been to absorb all your car knowledge, it would have been cool to attend shows together, to build and modify my first car. But unfortunately you cannot be here to see it. I know you are watching over us in awe of how we turned out. I know you’re proud of crossy and I but also mom. Mom really misses you and I can tell she needs you more than ever right now. I wish you did not die, I wish you could have lived and seen all of these beautiful things. We love you endless, always and forever. I will never let people forget your impact on the car and boat community. I will always tell people about my cool dad, even if it is in pass tense. I will always tell people how you have inspired me through the courageous and honest life you had lived and thrived through. - Posted by: sailor (daughter) on: Aug 29, 2024

• It's been a while.. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you. I'm 18 now, hard to believe its been 12 years.. I love you so much reading all these comments from your friends. It really shows how similar I am to you. We both love fast cars, laughing and having fun with everything we do. I'd also give your mustang a run for its money. I miss and love you- Cross - Posted by: cross schjerning (son) on: Jan 03, 2024

• There’s not one single day that I go without thinking about you and how much I miss you I still cry every Night and ask myself why did you have too die. I remember it’s just like it was yesterday I saw you in the bathroom and you looked like you had a cold or the flu and the last thing I said was I love you daddy and then I went too sleep the next morning I woke up and I see mom crying on the couch I asked where’s daddy with tears in her eyes she says daddy died and I didn’t really understood what that meant and then my mom explained too me what that meant after she told me I starting crying and that made my mom cry even more. I am even crying well writing this. I wish you were still here with me I miss you more and more as the days go on. I cannot look at your pictures and not cry. You have no idea how much I miss you. I love you and I will all ways love you daddy ❤️🥺 - Posted by: Sailor (Daughter ) on: Jul 24, 2020

• He was one of the best fathers anyone could ask for, he went too quick, one day I just saw him and he looked at me in worry and I asked him if he was okay and he said no I'm not and your dad is always your rock and that's why I think that it hit me the most. - Posted by: cross schjerning (son,) on: Mar 03, 2019

• I haven't seen Geoff since 1995, but when I heard he passed, it really hurt, Geoff was an awesome guy, when I was a kid in those days he taught me how to play hockey, took me and Cody out in his cars, boats, built us a hay fort, I'll never forget that hay fort Geoff, that was really cool, you were a good big brother to me even though we weren't related by blood, I'll always consider you as my big brother, love you and miss you Geoff.

• We're so very sorry Tara, Cross and Sailor for your loss. It was always a pleasure seeing Geoff when picking up the kids or at a school function because it was guaranteed we would end up laughing about something. He was a great guy with a great sense of humour and he will definitely be missed. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

• Renate, we are so terribly sorry for your loss. We don't expect to bury our children and it is the greatest sadness a parent can feel. We are praying that God give you, his young wife and children, and his siblings all the comfort God promises to give us. - Posted by: Erma and Lawrence (friend of Renate) on: Jun 08, 2012

• Geoffrey my son..I will miss you deeply and my heart aches as I really want you back here with all of us. God has chosen you to go ahead to watch over all of us. I now see you in my beautiful grandcildren that you and Tara have had. Love you and miss you till meet again. Mom - Posted by: Renate & Maurice Gardy (mother) on: Jun 08, 2012

• I was a friend and I also cut his and his son's hair for years. He will be missed. Geoff was funny & kind. He will be greatly missed - Posted by: Cheryl Danners (Friend) on: Jun 07, 2012

• This one really hurts. Geoff was like a big brother to me and I spent a lot of time as a young man in his company. I will never forget my first ride in his Mustang. Got out and was sick. Only to turn around and see him in tears laughing. That laugh was signature and pretty addictive as I'm sure most of you know. Whether we were at the cabin, playing hockey or just chilling over a few beers, Goeff was always the same - funny, passionate, always considerate and ready to take life to the next level. I will miss you buddy and our entire family will miss you. I am sorry I can't be back home for the funeral - but I will take time and reflect on how much this world will miss Geoff.

• Such a losss for you and your family Tara. Although I haven't seen Geoff in 20+ yrs, I do remember the joyful and very, very good person that he was when we were growing up in Fort Rouge. Always had a laugh or two to share, and that is what I will always remember him for. Didn't matter what type of day he was having, he always found a way to make others laugh. A GREAT trait for any person to have. I can only wish that this has been passed on to your two children, and if so, his memeory will last a lifetime through them. As long as there's laughter there is no reason to be sad for too long. God Bless. - Posted by: Roland Flaig (Friend & former classmate at CHS) on: Jun 07, 2012

• I'm so sorry Tara for you and your family's loss. Your wedding day was full of fun, joy and laughter. God bless you all with peace in your hearts and comfort you at this difficult time. If you need anything or babysitting, call me. God be with you all. - Posted by: Angela Stupak (old friend from VON) on: Jun 06, 2012

• Tara, Cross and Sailor...I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Geoff. I will always remember him as being my shoe connoisseur and just a friendly, happy go lucky guy who was always willing to have a chat when picking up the kids. You will be missed Geoff! RIP.

• Our heartfelt condolences to Tara, Cross, and Sailor on behalf of the Staff, Parents, and Children of The Learning Tree - Posted by: The Learning Tree Day Nursery, Inc. (Daycare) on: Jun 06, 2012

• Geoff was a rare breed, having met him in the early days of mobile communications, he worked for a company that I used to deal with and was the one that kept me coming back as his focus on client care was exemplary. Years later, he called me to sell their family home when they were ready for a move and that resulted in fostering a friendship from that day on beginning when I introduced him to Sushi which resulted on us having numerous Sushi lunches at Masa, trying new dishes and becoming so addicted that Geoff laughingly admitted that he ended up there daily. Geoff's warm and caring personality made it easy to cross from our business relationship to friendship. Last Saturday, getting the dreadful phone call from Tara was so unexpected and painful as he was so young and this is just not natural. When they say the good die young, that is most certainly the case with Geoff. - Posted by: Jeff Stern (Friend) on: Jun 05, 2012

• We are so sorry for your loss and just wish we were closer so that I could hug you. This is just so sad to lose someone so young and had so much to live for. Our deepest sympathy. - Posted by: Garry and Dianne (friend) on: Jun 05, 2012

• Our life paths took us different directions but I never forgot the good times and the great guy you always were. I miss you buddy! Your buddy Mike - Posted by: Mike Bennett (Friend) on: Jun 05, 2012
