GEDDES, JEFFREY ROYDEN - It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Jeffrey Royden Geddes on Friday, December 30, 2011 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital in Fredericton. Jeff was born on January 30, 1971 in Fredericton. He was the son of Doug and Rosemary Geddes. Survived and loved by his wife, Tina, of 20 years; two beautiful daughters, Alexandra (age 9) and Ashley (age 4); three siblings, Terry, of Moncton, David, of Fox Creek, AB and Jayne, of Woodstock, NB; his grandmother, Barbara Devlin; and predeceased by his grandfather, George “Papa” Devlin, of St. Stephen, NB. Jeff is also survived by his biological father, Earle; and his wife, Barbara; and half-brother, Jon, of Robbinston, ME. He was employed by UNB in the Faculty of Computer Science. Jeff leaves behind a proud, though grieving family, as well as an extended circle of friends who were drawn to him by his strength of character, his warmth of heart, his caring for others and his exuberant love of life. He bravely fought a tough battle with his cancer and always kept his spirit up for those he loved. We will all miss his laughter. "He lived beloved and he died lamented."
