Geoffrey Francis Fillar went home to be with his Lord and Savior Monday, November 12, 2018 in Lutz, Florida at the age of 47. From his birth to his death, Geoff was loved by many. He was born to Marguerite and Thomas on April 5, 1971 in Kalamazoo, MI. Geoff grew up in Kalamazoo and had many friends from all walks of life. Geoff endeavored to redefine himself achieving a level of success that few can match. After high school Geoff put himself through college gaining a bachelor's degree from University of Detroit Mercy and master's degree in Business from Western Michigan University. He then went on to complete his PhD course work at Nova Southeastern University in Information Systems. He was a Knowledge Manager for JLL. Geoff spent time away from Michigan by moving to New Orleans and San Francisco to work for his brother's company. At the age of 25, Geoff's first-born daughter, Kira Nicole Fillar, was born and ultimately brought Geoff back to his childhood state: Michigan. Geoff had the privilege of seeing Kira graduate this past May from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in environmental engineering. Geoff gave Kira's mom, Nicole, much credit for Kira's success as she did an amazing job co-parenting with Geoff. Geoff married the love of his life, Andrea Slavin, on September 27,1997 in Kalamazoo, MI. They just celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary. Geoff loved that he had a beautiful wife both inside and out. Andrea and Kira were at the center of Geoff's desire to create a better life that they deserved. The moves to Ohio, Atlanta and ultimately Florida were all designed to create a better life for their family. On February 19, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia Geoff and Andrea welcomed their daughter Regin Jade Fillar into the world. She dreams of the day she can take on Geoff's love for Jeeping. He loved working on his Jeep and dreamed of the day he would refurbish one with his daughter Regin. Geoff loved kayaking, camping, country music concerts with Andrea, gardening, online gaming, and relaxing on the lanai.
