 Geddie's family announced the sad news of his sudden demise due to coronary-related factors on Monday via statement that read, “He was a big deal in TV, but at home he was an even ‘bigger than life’ husband and dad.”

The statement further continued, “He had a genuine love for television and entertainment. He would try everything and did it well — screenwriting, recording podcasts, playing guitar, writing songs, and loved a wide range of music from country to jazz.  His favorite band was The Beatles, and he never thought he would have the opportunity to meet one of his personal heroes Paul McCartney in person, but his dream came true. The question wasn’t who did he meet, but rather who didn’t he meet?”

His family further mentioned that Geddie “enjoyed connecting with people, and we know we are not the only ones who will miss his encouraging way of positive guidance.  He did so with enthusiasm mixed with sarcasm.” 

"His special style of humor was filled with puns.  He believed in honesty.  He was a kind man of integrity and always wanted to do the right thing.  He lived by example,"  the statement concluded.

The producer also worked as a producer at ABC News for Good Morning America, he also served as the script writer for the 1996 sci-fi film Unforgettable, starring  Ray Liotta and Linda Fiorentino.
