About

Name: Geoffrey Robert Dean

Date of Birth: 3 Aug 1971

Passed Away: 25 Feb 2025

Age: 53

Geoffrey Robert Dean was born in Mount Barker on the 3rd August 1971. He was the son of Averil and Kenny Dean (RIP). Loving partner of Lee-Anne, father of Brayden and Geoffrey. Youngest brother of Glenys, Patrick, Leonie, Sandra, Brenda, Lindsay and Joanna. His mum Averil remembers him as a beautiful baby, she had chosen the name Geoffrey Warren, but as she was getting ready to go into hospital her beloved nephew Robert asked if the baby could be named after him, so his name became Geoffrey Robert. His name connected him to his cousin, Robert and the rest of Treasy’s family. Rob became another big brother to him. Geoffrey shared a special relationship with all of his aunties and uncles both down south and in the Kimberley. Geoffrey’s early years were spent in Cranbrook where he made many friends at primary school. He attended the little Catholic Church with family and madehis First communion there. Friendships began in Cranbrook that remained with him his whole life.

Geoff was always encouraged by us to be proud of who he was, and he grew upas a strong proud little noongar boy. All the kids in Cranbrook were mates and they were welcomed into each other’s homes. What a great community to begin his life in.

He was a good boy but joined his friends in having fun and playing tricks like the one time I saw the kids milling around my front gate while holding a bucket. I was a bit suspicious and told them to go along so they took it to the General store where one of the boy’s mother ‘s was doing accounts and told herthey had something for her. They gave her the bucket which had inside it a large dead snake we can only imagine the reception, but the kids thought it wasa lot of fun.

The family eventually moved to Albany and attended Mt Lockyer and Albany Senior High school where he will be remembered as a well behaved, smart, sweet kid. His success with school lessons saw him become DUX of woodwork freeform in his final year obtaining skills that he carried into later life. Geoffrey had a special love for animals especially dogs who responded to his gentleness and love. He always looked for the good in everyone and was loved by the extended family and friends. He was seen as a guiding light, for the young and became a father figure to many. Geoffrey I always waited for his call to tell me he had meat and bush tucker for his mum. He was my special provider. Geoffrey and Lee-Anne’s life started together over 32 years ago, living with his sister Brenda until they had their own home.

It was in 1994; Geoffrey became the proud father to his first-born son Brayden Rhys Dean. It took a few weeks before Geoffrey named Brayden, as Geoffrey was trying to work out a way to tell Lee-Anne he had lost a bet to Brad (Brayden) Dennis and wagered the name of his baby boy. Living in Sinclair Street, Lockyer as a young couple and a new born baby was
challenging but good. Geoffrey was working in the sheds as a roustabout during the week and footy on weekends. He provided for his little family from the start. He spent a lot of time with his brothers going hunting and going out bush with Uncle Jack. This he really enjoyed, learning from his Elders. He also continued his close relationship with Robert and Jo who often visited him or vice versa.

One time at Drummond Street, Robert and Geoffrey were talking about hunting and how fat the kangaroos were when they noticed Brayden was missing and couldn’t find him in the house. They panicked, jumped in the car, tearing up each street in search for Brayden only to return to see him sitting in the front of Nan Ave’s car. Brayden was only 2 years old, but he knew where she lived and went to his Nan’s to ask if she had any kangaroo fat.

In 1996, Geoffrey and Lee-Anne welcomed their baby boy, Jah. Geoffrey wanted to name him William but settled on him being his namesake, Geoffrey Robert Dean Jnr. Both boys were the apples of his eye. They were spoilt rotten, their father weakening to their every whim. He worked hard to ensure they had the best of everything and not be in need of anything. Jah inherited his dad’s nickname, Jubbas, but in short was called Jah. Brayden was called Birddog by his dad, as he and his dad loved listening to the Everly Brothers song Hey Birddog.

Geoffrey loved playing footy. He would retell how Kenny Judge used to pick him up for training when he was living in Perth. In the country, he played for North Barker and Tambellup. He loved playing for Tambellup with family and friends. He was a brilliant forward, playing strong leads to mark the ball and drill it through the goals. Because of goal kicking skills, I think he got the name Plugger Dean.

For anyone that ever known Geoffrey, knew that he was very intelligent. He worked for the Prison as an Education Officer but loved working in the shed with his brothers. He went to TAFE and became a Wool Classer. Geoffrey received many accolades from the WA Wool Board for his excellence in classing wool. He never really said much about this, but you could see the pride in his face when he opened the mail. There are still a few family members who Geoffrey helped to obtain their wool classing ticket including Lindsay and Archie.

Over the years Geoffrey had to give Wool Classing up because of his back problems. He then took on another love of his and that was horticulture and gardening. He was very savvy on growing things from seed that are still in his back yard, nectarines, passionfruit, fig trees, grape vines, chillies and his seasonal vegies. The best tomatoes in the south.

As Geoff’s boys started school, he would be proud to hear how smart they were from their Teacher Gail Linton at Mt Lockyer School, who told Geoffrey ‘Your boys could be doctors if they wanted to because they are so smart’. Geoffrey supported them right throughout their education, and especially when they went to NASHS Clontarf Football academy; watching them play for Clontarf was joyous. There were so many proud Dad moments and there weren’t too many games he didn’t miss. When Brayd joined Railways, Geoffrey could be seen parked up watching and barracking. Then when Jah was in the Ongerup FL grand final, Geoff travelled to Borden to watch him, with Geoffrey even having a go at the coach to give Jah a run.

Geoffrey was a happy go lucky bloke, he loved all his family from near and far; north and south and in between. He was kind, loving and respectful to all his aunties and uncles. He was a bushman and had a love for land and country, eating and supplying bush food. Every week he would go out to Webbies to go hunting to supply his family. His first call on return was always to Leonie’s phone to tell his Mum to come and get meat first before anyone else. When he went hunting, he didn’t need too many bullets as all his shots were sure shots, he never missed a target.

Geoffrey was also known as Gilgie Dean as when he went to Tambellup this is what they got up to. He loved that nickname. Geoffrey also loved to party. He loved mixing with the younger family, the Tambellup Crew and then later Chris Penny. They would kick back at his place; yarn, listen to music and ring anyone that would listen and laugh with them. These were very happy times for Geoff.

Geoffrey was not so involved in land rights but started to have a keen interest in participating in his dad’s country – Karajarri country, travelling to the Kimberley at least twice a year. These are the times he was able to ‘let his hair’ down’ with his dad’s brothers who have all since passed away, and in latter years to see his beloved Aunty Faye, Aunty Helen, Aunty Yvonne, Aunty Cecilia, and extended families. He loved going Frazier Downs, out to Rolla and Whistle Creek. One time he rang Lee-Anne and told her he ticked a box off his wish list; he’d caught a barra. He was over the moon about this, but there are many stories of the antics Geoffrey got up to when he went up north. Geoffrey’s love of fishing also extended to Noongar country, with his favourite spots being Cable Beach and Lowlands. Geoff was the uncle/pop that the kids went to, to learn how to fish. He spent many memorable moments teaching them all how to rig a rod, put bait on the hooks, and encouraging them to reel it in for the catch of the day. Geoffrey loved fishing across the channel of Emu Point, sitting on his favourite rock catching snapper. He also loved putting a net out down the road from his place. His grannies remember fondly how he showed them how to do that too.

Through all of these events in Geoffrey’s life, there was his Mum and Dad, his sisters and brothers, nieces, and nephews and all his Grannies who call him Pop Geoffrey. There were many occasions spent celebrating birthdays, family BBQ’s, going out Redmond Block or just hanging out. Geoffrey was never one to judge anyone and accepted people for who they were. Geoffrey was always respectful to Lee-Anne’s family; the Woods & Eades family and would also ensure they were ok when they came home.

In Geoffrey’s lifetime, he loved to travel around Australia. He had plans to travel this year, he was excited to go to Jack and Tilly’s wedding in March, had plans for going gold prospecting with Sandra and Russell in April, flying over to the Gold Coast in May and travelling back to the Kimberley in September. So many plans that are not to be.

But he did go to Sydney with Lindsay and family to watch the Mundine and Green fight. He loved it and loved that he met a lot of black fullas over there. Geoffrey also went to Geelong to help Sandra out with Jack and Chloe. One night he wanted to go to the pokies, Chloe was staying at friends, and he only had Jack to look after. He was feeling lucky, so the only alternative was to put Jack to bed, lock the door and let Max the dog look after him. Not sure what time he got back but he did forget to go pick Chloe up from friends in the afternoon. He loved telling this story to family, gave us all a chuckle.

Geoffrey also loved woodwork. He excelled at producing artefacts. Whilst he never had big equipment to make his boomerangs, digging or tapping sticks, woomeras, and coolamons, he produced these with his trusted chainsaw and hand tools. He would carve out the shapes and produced works of perfection, selling his products to Geelong Grammar School and the WA Catholic Education Office, gifting to friends and family. Making these products would almost cripple Geoff but he persevered as he loved the end product.

Most would know Geoffrey had a love for animals, especially his dogs. About ten years ago, Geoff was gifted with one of Samantha’s labs by his Uncle Sam. Nala was very timid and scared, but with the love and kindness from Geoffrey she became a very lovable fur kid. When she had pups, Geoff was like a midwife helping her deliver her little litter. From these pups, Geoffrey kept his fur boy, another Geoffrey Robert Dean, who he called affectionately called Wudj or Boy Dog. Boy dog was ever so spoilt, laying in the middle of the bed
to the point of pushing Lee-Anne out so he and his dad can lay down by themselves. And then there’s his princess Hazel, or Baby as he called her.

Geoffrey gave them a love any father would give their own human children, and as all beautiful dogs do, they gave him pleasure and unconditional love. Lee-Anne was the love of his life. He would always sing John Fogerty’s ‘You are the Joy of my Life’ every week, declaring ‘I am the luckiest man alive’. They were never too far apart and always doing things together in the garden, cooking, going bush, hunting, or going for wood. Most of all he loved being home surrounded by his loves; Lee-Anne, Brayden & Jah, his fur-kids, his family and his garden.

There are so many things and people Geoffrey appreciated, people he respected and was kind and loving to and if it’s missed in his life story, please cherish your memory, and hold it close to your heart. Geoffrey was so much like his dad in character; kind and respectable and we are all saddened by the loss of Geoffrey in our lives.

May God Bless you Geoffrey; your absence is surely missed by your precious Mum Averil, your beloved Lee-Anne, your children Brayden and Geoffrey Jnr, Boy Dog, Baby & Big. Your brothers and sisters Glenys, Patrick, Leonie, Sandra & Russell, Brenda, Lindsay and Lesley, Joanna. Your loving nieces and nephews and Grannies.

Rest in Peace

Remebering Geoffrey

Geoffrey Robert Dean

Adored youngest son of Kenny (Dec) and Averil Dean. Much loved youngest brother of all his siblings and special Pop to Thomas whom he nurtured throughout his life teaching him life skills and the richness of cultural diversity. My precious beautiful loving son – when the wind blows softly and caresses my cheek, I will know that that will be a special message from you to me. We will share our love in the Dreaming, and I will carry you forever in my heart.

Your heart broken Mum.

My Geoffrey

I’m so very sad you have left me. I still can’t believe I came home to find you gone. I tried so very hard to bring you back to life, but it wasn’t meant to be. I miss you at home; everything I look at reminds me of you.

I sit at the back and see your seat empty, this breaks my heart as; no more yarns, laughs or you and me singing our version of Islands in the streams by Kenny & Dolly. I will mis our rides out bush, helping you with making your artefacts but most of all I miss you. I walk around your garden and look at everything you planted and grew, and hope to find you, but you’re not there. I miss your voice, your smile, your company and looking after you when you were sick. I really just miss you, because we were never too far apart and did everything together.

I look at your boys and see the sadness in their eyes, your fur-kids Nala, Geoffrey Boy and Hazel, have the same look and I’m sure if they can talk, they would ask where their Dad is. But I’ll look after them as I’m all they’ve got.

I will cherish our memories we made, the love you gave and the little things you said that made me always feel loved. Forever in my heart you’ll stay and that’s where you’ll always be. This isn’t goodbye but wait for me. Love Lee

To our boys Birddog & Jah; your Dad was so proud of you. You both were gifted with his intelligence, his brilliant mind and he loved you both so much. Your Dad gave you everything we never had when we were growing up. He worked so hard to make sure you had the best. Cherish the memory of your Dad.

My love to Averil, Glenys, Patrick, Leonie, Sandra, Brenda, Lindsay and Joanna; Geoffrey loved you all so very much.

To our Nieces, Nephews and Grannies; Uncle/Pop Geoff will always be the man he was to you all; kind, loving and non-judgemental. Remember all the things he did with you to make you all feel special. To Geoffrey’s family from up North, my family too, thank you travelling to see him one last time. He thought the world of you all as I would think you did the
same for him.

To my family, Geoffrey was always respectful to you all as you were to him. To extended family and friends, Geoffrey had immense love and respect for you all and never failed to show this.

Dad,

We never thought this day would come so soon, and in the small amount of time since you passed, your presence has been missed so much by so many. I am going to miss fishing and hunting, or even just walking out the back yard and playing with our dogs. Just having that yarn sitting out the back asking how everyone else was going meant a lot. Now home feels empty without you. You were everyone’s favourite uncle and pop who everyone looked forward to seeing you, but me and Jah were blessed to spend many more moments and learn a lifetime of knowledge from you. I was always there for you through it all and I will be there forever for Mum and Jah, Nan Ave and all of your brothers and sisters.

Love your son Brayden

Dad,

I didn’t think this day would come so soon to say my last goodbye. We both didn’t talk much but we did share a lot of good memories, as I drove around town the last few weeks these memories came back and brought a tear to my eye, wherever I went there was a memory with you. Whether it was the beach, bush or club. I’m thankful you showed me all our family wherever we travelled, and they all respected you so much. I will never forget you and I am proud to share your name.

Love your son Geoffrey Jnr

Thanks for the fond memories you left behind for us to remember. The jokes the laughter was aplenty. In heaven now with our dad and Camo. We will never forget you. Rest in peace my brother.

Love Glenys, Gerry, Dan, Christing, Stella, Myles and Charlie

My brother, I am going to miss your cheeky smile walking through the door at home. Your company and the laughs we shared will stay with me forever. Rest easy Bro.

Paddo

We will miss your smiling face and the kindness you showed to other people, and to your babies Nala, Geoff and Hazel. Whenever you went fishing or hunting, you would share whatever you bought back home. You loved our family gatherings, Birthdays and Christmas celebrations will no longer be the same, but you will forever be with us in our hearts. We cherish the memories of you.

Our deepest sympathy to Lee-Anne, Brayden & Lily, and Jah

Love from your sister Leonie, niece Natasha, and grandkids Mikayla, Caleb
and Sienna

As I sit down to write this my kitchen smells of the passion fruit you sent up with Lee-Anne on the weekend before you left us. We are all so sad. Thank you for being such a kind and generous brother. Wherever I went, whatever I did I knew that you were just a phone call away if I needed artefacts made for a school or bush food for staff functions. You will be missed at our family gatherings, no longer will we see those shoulders shake when the music starts, our arguments/debates will be missing an opinion and there won’t be as many laughs around the card table. You loved and were loved by all our families. Rest peacefully, my baby brother. We will always be there for Lee-Anne, Brayden and Jah.

Love always Sandra, Russell and Chloe.

Where do I start? As I sit here trying to write my final goodbye, the good times we shared are ever present. You were a simple man, who didn’t need riches or material things. You had a massive impact on the lives of everyone you met, and I think this is what I loved about you most. I was blessed to call you my brother and good mate. The laughs and good times we shared will remain with me forever as precious memories. Love and sympathy to Lee-Anne, Brayden and Lily, Jah and his last three babies, Nala, Geoff and Hazel. We love you.

Brenda, Kenny, Morgan and Mason.

Geoff, I never thought this day would come so soon, it’s been such a hard thing to say goodbye to you. A lifetime of memories. Never forgotten.

Lindsay, Lesley and family

My brother Geoff – If only I knew… No matter what I do now it doesn’t matter because you are gone. I truly thank our Heavenly Father for letting you be my big brother. So many memories to cherish, your spirit will live on. Your personality was one of a kind. Our family gatherings will not quite be the same without you. I love you my big brother, rest peacefully now.

Until we meet again, your little sister, Joanna, Amber, Kim and families. My deepest condolences Lee-Anne, Brayden, Jah and Mum.

Brother Geoffrey, you will be sadly missed. The times that you came up to the Kimberley, we would go fishing in Lombadina and Frasier Downs, then hunting around town at shops for foam eskies to take your fish back home. Whenever I came to Albany, I looked for you to go hunting and fishing. We will dearly miss your funny stories and quietly spoken humour.

RIP Bubblie.

Brad

In loving memory of my dear son in law, who left us too soon. My heart is filled with sadness with his sudden passing. Over the past 30 years we have shared and made many memories. Geoff was a loving and respectful son in law to both me and Bill (Rip) always made time to look after us when we called in. He made sure we were cared for and I am going to miss him.

All my love and prayers with my girl Lee-Anne and grandsons Brayd and Jah, who made their dad proud of their achievements. I pray that God will give you all added strength at this sad time.

Love and prayers from Mum/Nan Liza.

My heartfelt love and sympathy to dear Averil and family. May God surround you with his love.

Nephew, Brother, Uncle, Mate

Going to miss all the good times we shared with you. You were one of a kind always laughing and joking.You showed us your fishing skills with lures when you came up for salmon season.

Forever in our hearts
Rollah gang

Our Geoff, always a kind, family orientated man forever looking out for everyone. Your support given to family especially in our saddest times, keeping everyone entertained was a godsend. You shared whatever you had to share and we loved getting the best parts of the cuts of the killer. Just recently while in Albany, you pulled me aside and said ‘aunty, come over before basketball tomorrow and pick some nectarines for yourself but don’t tell the girls they can come over after’ and with the help of Leeanne, I picked some very nice nectarines from your trees. Now, as the salmon season rolls in we will be expecting you to turn up, then, the mango season will be another reminder that you have left us. You will be missed beyond words and our memories of you will be forever in our hearts.

Aunty Helen, Uncle Chicky and Family

Our hearts go out to the Dean Family for the unexpected loss of Geoffrey. The Lombadina family and community members send our sincere condolences to Geoffrey’s wife Lee-Anne, his sons, Brayden and Geoffrey jnr. Averil, and his siblings Glenys, Patrick, Leonie, Sandra, Brenda, Lindsay and Joanna. Geoffrey was always a happy go lucky person who always had a big smile whenever he visited us. We hold great memories of Geoffrey, and it was a pleasure being in his company. May he Rest in Peace.

Dearly loved nephew of Uncle Iva (Dec) and Aunty Treasy. Loved cousin and Uncle of many. Along the road of life, your tender love and kindness was always present. We will miss you. Precious memories are ours to keep. May God hold you safe in the palm if his hands. Until we meet again.
Love always the Woods and Simpsons

Our sincerest condolences to Lee-Anne, Brayden and Geoffrey on the sudden passing of your partner and father. He will be sadly missed by the whole family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Love from all the Morich Families.

To Aunty Ave and our Brothers and Sisters and extended families we wish to extend to you our sincerest condolences on the sudden passing of our beloved brother. A man for others who always had a place in his heart for family. Love from all the Morich Families

To my dear Boy you were an amazing man, thoughtful and humble you touched our lives with your humour and kindness. Geoff was beautiful inside and out. He was giving. He cared for others. He was patient and kind and empathetic. He never judged anyone. To know Geoff was to love him and to know you were in the presence of a very special person.

You were a part of my family and I was proud to call you one of my boys. I know Flier will be there with you looking down upon us. We remember you gave Timmy his nickname “ Flier” when you lived with us Bassendean. My two special boys keeping each other company in the presence of God.

My boy, you may no longer walk among us, but your spirit soars unconstrained. You were a lesson in love and humanity, a symphony of joy and benevolence.

Your life, though far too short, was truly a masterpiece, one that we had the privilege to witness and be a part of. In the days to come, when we find ourselves lost in the darkness of our grief, we will remember the light Geoff brought into our world. We will find solace in
knowing that Geoff’s light has not been extinguished, it has merely spread out into the universe, becoming a part of everything—just as he will forever be a part of us.

To Lee-Anne, Brayden and Geoffrey, and to Ave and family may God grant you comfort and peace during this difficult time. You are in our prayers, we may have lost our beautiful boy, someone we loved dearly but we have gained an angel we know. His extraordinary spirit touched everyone and left an unforgettable legacy. We will always cherish our beautiful memories of Geoff. Though Geoff may be gone, his spirit will remain with us always. Geoff’s spirit of generosity and love will always be an inspiration to our family.
Love Aunty Wendy and Family.

Love and condolences to our loved ones on the sad loss of our dearest Geoff. So many good times we shared together and our hearts will always hold the memories.

Rest In Peace brother, Uncle Sam(dec) and Aunty Shirley’s (dec) family, Pat, Julian, Penny, Samantha, Veronica, Aaron, nieces and nephews.

We watched our sister and her sons’ hearts breaking. No longer in pain or suffering, the ache within our hearts will always remain. So kind and gentle, your humour we loved. Your sharing and caring ways brought us comfort.Rest peacefully brother-in-law
Love from Doug and Marg, Charm and Nick and families

Geoffrey, our brother-in-law was more than a brother, to be honest. We have precious memories of you buddy throughout the 30+ years in our family. Your love and your respect was merely an extension of the truly beautiful person you were. Always hunting, fishing, gardening and keeping home as the proud man of the house. Your presence is dearly missed we will be there for Lee-Anne and your boys Brayd and Jah.
Rest peacefully our special brother Geoff.
Love Dean (Dec) Lynette, Eugene, Gillian and nephew Garrence.

Deepest sympathy to my niece Lee-Anne, Brayden and Jah

Love Aden Eades and family and Eugene Eades and family.

No words can describe the heartbreak we all felt when we heard the news of your passing. The memories we share will be treasured forever. May you rest in peace. Love Daryl, Leanne, Mitch, Vi, Soli, Jacko, Bianca, Henley, Elsie, Isaac, Eliza & Pippa

Geoffrey’s legacy lives on in the quiet moments we both shared together and other times with other cousins across the bushland he and we all loved dearly and that he knew so much about. A man whose character was shaped by the best qualities of Aunty Ave and Uncle Kenny, and all of our uncles, aunties and Nan Elsie. He carried their values of family, respect, and humility throughout his life. What made Geoffrey special was his generosity with time—that most precious resource. No matter what he had planned, he would set it aside to take you hunting, fishing, collecting bush tucker, or picking wildflowers. Those
journeys through Redmond and the Stirling Ranges weren’t just about the destinations; they were about connection and companionship.

Few words were needed as the time and kilometres passed; the comfortable silence between visits always gave way to catching up on family news, reminiscing, laughter and shared memories of growing up.

More than a cousin, Geoffrey was considered a brother by many, with eternal bonds forged during the Tambellup and Cranbrook days that remained unbreakable through the years. His thoughtfulness extended to everyone, including sending kangaroo meat from his own fridge through me to my mum, his Aunty Pat in Perth.

Geoffrey will be remembered as someone who lived with genuine care for others —a man who understood that the greatest gift one can give is his presence, and he gave it generously until the end. Deepest sympathy to Lee-Anne and sons Brayden and Geoffrey. Aunty Ave and family.

I and others will miss coming to catch up with you each time when visiting Albany.

It was always a pleasure to be in your company.

Your cousin Tiny and family.

Dear Geoff, our big family gatherings will never be the same without your warm hugs, huge smile and big laugh. You will be missed but never forgotten, RIP brother and uncle. Love Jules, Wayne, Matt, Emma and Luke

Geoff there literally was no one like you brother. Funny beyond measure and a loving family man, your presence will be deeply missed. The holidays you spent with us were full of fishing, laughter and good times. Rest peacefully until we all meet again.

Sending love and comfort to Lee, Brayden and Geoff jnr, Aunty Averil, Glenys Patrick, Leonie, Sandra, Brenda, Lindsay and Joanna, all the nieces, nephews and grandchildren and our Williams family please know we are thinking of all of you during this saddest of times.
Love always from Sussan and my gang

It is with great sadness and sorrow that we say goodbye for now to a great man, brother and friend. You were always there for anyone who needed you Geoff. Always with that smiling, happy face. Always willing to do anything for us and always willing to supply us with kangaroo meat. You will be missed forever by everyone in the family. We will miss hearing you say “How you going Bud?” every time you saw us. Our condolences go out to Lee-Anne, Brayden, Geoffrey Jnr, Aunty Averil and family. Love you brother. Terry, Pheobe, Callum, Ryan, Tuti and Dena.

Going to Albany will never be the same you always made it a point to take us fishing or hunting. It never really felt like time had passed whenever we caught up, you are and will forever be my brother Geoff. I hope you are up there with the family that have passed telling them all the stories they have missed. Until we meet again.
Love Cook, Mike, Terrence, Jesse, Ashleigh, Kai, Cara and Nellie

Geoff – you were a very caring person. Every time we felt like eating kangaroo meat we always knew you would have some for us. I will miss you my brother, you and I would reminisce about the mulberry fights at Ms Saggers house after funerals and the Chinese Apples fights. God took our special angel home. Love you my brother Juanny, Stewart, Chey and Phoenix

Uncle Geoffrey
I still can’t believe this, it feels like a poxy dream, and I just want to go back over to you mobs house, walk out the back and see you sitting at the table playing casino games or having a beer. You know I would be right there with you having a beer with you too.

We are all going to miss you so much my uncle. You were one of a kind, and had a beautiful heart and soul, someone that could go anywhere and get along with anyone and everyone.

I am going to miss seeing you at all of the birthday parties, it just won’t be the same. You were always the life of the party, I can see you dancing right now!! I am so pissed off that you got taken away from us like this, but then I feel a calmness come over me and know that God has plans for you because you are truly an angel. We love you Cindy, Ava, Marcus and Bubba G

Uncle Geoff
You are the funny, happy go lucky uncle, never judging anyone. Our Dean family will never be the same without you. You will always be the best cook in the family. Love you Uncle Geoff. Until we meet again Love Nikkita, Iaeshia, Zianoodin, Ina, Fabian and Ezra.

Uncle Geoff where do I start? You were one of the good guys with a heart of gold always keen to take us young fellas out bush to go shooting, getting wood or to go drag a couple dams from a young age. I will miss our convo’s at the back of your place talking about work, fishing, your chilli plants and just life in general, Albany will never be the same without you here unc may you rest in peace until we meet again my uncle.
Love Jake

Albany won’t be the same, walking in and not seeing you sitting on the couch or at the back. Always happy to see us, always keen to have a beer and a chat. You always had time for us made us feel welcomed. Never a dull moment or sad time but always having a laugh and enjoying the good times. I will take these memories with me for the rest of my life, till we meet again. Love you Uncle.
Albert

Thank you, Uncle Geoffrey, for the laughter, the love and the countless memories.You will be dearly missed but never forgotten. May you rest in peace.
Zachary

Uncle, you lit up the room everywhere you went. You were so welcoming and warm to every person you met. Dad always told me, if you’re ever bored, go sit next to Uncle Geoff and he will have you belly laughing in 5 minutes. It was the truth. Thank you for all the moments we had together, thank you teaching me that pan size is good enough. Thank you for helping Tilly adjust to what is the chaos of our family, and for showing her the care and love you always do. We are heartbroken, nothing will ever be the same. We will miss you more than
words can describe. I promise one day I will be able to rig up my own fishing line but for now I will remember your words and smile. Rest peacefully. Jack and Tilly

Hey Uncle, take me back down memory lane – going back to 17, sitting on your back porch learning lots of knowledge from you, the good old can trick was just one of them! Your passing had me thinking mainly about the times we went fishing & netting to the nights we sat at the back of dad’s house drinking around the fire waiting on dinner to be ready. I’m definitely not ready but when will I ever be! I’m truly going to miss you. We used to sit for hours yarning and making fun of everyone. I just wanna hear that laugh again one more time. Thank you for just being an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on! I’ll be expecting you to wait for me at those pearly gates when I walk through the entrance but for now I’ll hold you with me earth side in this life time a little longer. Uncle Geoff I will forever love & miss you. Lily, laetia & Duran

My Godfather – I never knew this day would come so soon where I would have to say goodbye. I’ll always remember you and a day won’t go bye where I don’t. I hope to see you again, but until then when you look down I will be looking up. We all miss you and wish you were still here with us – your Godson.
Lindsay Jnr.

Uncle Geoff – Thank you for always supporting me and teaching me to hunt and fish, you always let me take fishing gear and hang out at your house, I will remember you always as my other dad. Love you Zep.

Deepest Sympathy to aunty Ave, Lee, the boys and family.

As I sit here with a saddened heart, I reflect on some of the moments we shared with you. We would say, “Let’s go and see Geoff for five minutes” but that five minutes would turn into five hours, sometimes even turned into sleeping on the couch with your three dogs haha… You always amazed us when you came to visit, you’d walk through the front door with one hand holding your 6 pack, lighter and smokes and the other holding your pants. You sure was a funny bloke. You will be sadly missed but mostly loved, always.

From your Pickett family of Crawford St, Tambellup

Deepest sympathy to Aunty Ave, Lee-Anne, Brayden, Geoff Jnr, brothers and sisters and extended families. Geoff was a very loving and kind man who loved to yarn and party. He loved his Tambellup mob and was always pleased to see them. Geoff left us all with precious memories and will be sadly missed.
Rest peacefully,

Your Farmer family in Tambellup

Dearest Uncle Geoff
We will forever cherish all the many memories shared with you, from childhood where all our family would be together to our later years. The many memories of you being with Pop Jack out bush hunting and going to the Stirlings. You always made time for Pop Jack and Mum Joan and I know they looked forward to your visits. To our little family, when we needed help when the kids were little you loaned us your little white Datsun, lasted for ages. Pop was your biggest supporter for your footy days always shouting the loudest when you
took the mark for goals at Tambellup “Nyarbiderrr”, they used to scream. To always being there for the laughs and awesome company. We are going to miss you Uncle.

Our deepest sympathies to Aunty Lee, Brayd and Jah, and Aunty Ave & Uncle Ken ((R.I.P) families and extended family and friends.
Love forever and always, Steph & Michael and family xxxx

You were such as adventurous, kind, loving and caring man. You made such an impact on our lives. I am grateful of the times I got to spend with you and the good memories we made.

You will always have a place in our hearts. Love you Pop. Liam

Our Pop

You have always been there for our family, it is going to be very different without you. You could put a smile on anyone’s face everytime you were around. I hope that you are happy with Pop Ken and the mob up there. I will always love and miss you. Love Tom

You have left every single one of us heartbroken and lost. God has gained another angel. I will always cherish the memories we created forever. You had the youngest soul, moist gentle eyes and softest heart. You never judged me, you know how to kick back and have a good laugh with us young mob, and you were the most family oriented person.I know that with you as our guardian angel and by our sides you will give us the strength and guide us the right was. I’ll love you and miss you eternally. My condolences to Nan Lee, Uncle Brayden and Uncle Jah Jah. I hope you are drinking a Carlton Dry up there. Till we meet again, my beautiful Pop Geoff. Love Tahli

Fond memories of our first camping trip in the early eighties as kids to our awesome lil marron sharing times, (just quietly we poached – not eggs either!). I remember the BBQs of threadfin salmon, sent down by your old man’s mob, your mob from Broome. You are back with dardy now and the Holy Spirit. Nyarbiderrr, my brother, my mate. Til we meet again my buddy. Gone but never forgotten. Eric

I first met Geoff and Lindsay playing on the same team over 40 years ago. Over the years Geoff always had time to stop and chat when we met up around Albany.In the last 25 years we developed a strong friendship and did a lot of roo shooting, fishing and drinking the odd beer or three together. Our families became close. Geoff was a happy go lucky, bigger than life character who always had a smile and a joke for you. Geoff was a dedicated father and
husband and was very proud of his son’s achievements.To Geoff, family was number one and I know he will be missed by the people he touched. Geoff was taken too young but his spirit is shining bright and still strong. Rest easy my brother Webby.

Geoffrey, you were a man of kindness and everlasting love,
Your generosity you wore, just like a glove.
Full of laughter, always got a yarn or two,
Not always having the best jokes, maybe just a few.
You loved all of your family, that you did show,
Whenever you were around them, you would always glow.
Not an enemy in sight, everyone was your friend
A special trait of yours, that you carried to the end.
Sympathy to Lee-Anne and the boys. Aunty Ave and families.
Love Errol, Suzi, Deana, Timmy, Herzel, Nooty and families.

The time we spent with Geoff over our brief holiday periods or short visits, he never changed, he was one of a kind who always made us feel loved and welcomed. We will cherish our memories of the fun big brother and uncle, whowe always loved.

Karla, Fraser, Trohne and Tionne

Deepest condolences to Lee, Brayden, Jah and the Dean family. Geoffrey willbe remembered in our hearts as someone special to us all. A big nephew andbrother with a heart of gold who will always be missed. Love Jessy, Mook (Rip)kids and grandkids.
