Geoffrey Edward Pastrick

Geoffrey Edward Pastrick (“Coach P”), born on August 14, 1976, was called home on May 10, 2020 at the age of 43 surrounded by his immediate family. Geoff was born in St. Joseph, Michigan and graduated in 1999 from Texas State with a BS in exercise science. He went into coaching in 2000 and that is where his love for impacting young men started. He coached at several high schools in both the Austin, Texas area and in the Marietta, Georgia area and was known not only for being a fierce competitor but also for teaching young boys to be great young men both on and off the field. He took his passion to a new level in 2017 and opened the first offensive line-only training facility on the east coast (Prime Athlete Development). Most importantly, Geoff loved hard. He was married for 19 years to his wife Heather. He loved spending time fishing for bass, watching college football, spoiling their dog, and spending time outside in the sun with his family whether at home, at the lake, or any ball field - especially Wrigley Field in Chicago! He took the fight with cancer on like a true super hero! He was so passionate about helping others and giving back that he, his wife, and his sister and brother-in-law started a non profit foundation to help benefit the patients and families affected by cancer. Primed2Fight was born in 2019 with the mission to give back. His family and friends will now carry on that legacy on his behalf. He is survived by his wife, Heather S. Pastrick; his mom, Julianna Dongvillo Countess; his dad, Samuel Countess; his father, Edward J. Pastrick; his sister and brother-in-law, Stephanie Pastrick Parker and Bryan Parker; his three nephews, Connor, Brandon and Kyle Parker; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Sandy Sutherland-Burton and Col. Don Burton; his sister and brother-in-law, Phil and Holly Rowlette; and his niece and nephew, Gracie and Grant Rowlette. He is also survived by his maternal grandmother, Doris Dongvillo, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Due to covid and the safety of the community we will be doing a celebration at a later date. In Lieu of flowers we are asking you to honor Geoff and his legacy by making a donation to Primed2Fight at www.primed2fight.org.
