I'm not sure how to begin this blog entry since I never thought I would write it anytime soon. Before I start, I want to make it clear that I never met Geoff in person nor interacted with him online in any way. I have always been (and will be) a quiet observer and fan of his since the moment I saw him back in 2011 for the first time. It's a bit hard for me to summarize in words how much Geoff helped influence my personality as it stands today.
Geoff was one of the first internet personalities I saw online that was genuine. Although this rubbed some people the wrong way, it was refreshing to see someone who wasn't afraid of it. There was always a frank and honest approach he had with his fans and detractors. It's something I know a lot of people respected about him; and it's something I admired and still do.
The more I try to put into words how he influenced my life, the more I realize it may start sounding a lot more selfish. To this end, I want to summarize that he was a good guy, and he had influence and reach across many people around the world. I happen to be one of them, and am honored to have been alive to see it as it happened.
Through whatever form of time and space that exists - Geoff if you're reading this somehow; know that I thank you. Rest in peace brother.
