Letters to the Editor by J. "Frog" Daveggio

October 1, 2017 by San Quentin News Contributor

Christopher Geier passed away on Aug. 30. He was one of those rare people in the world who was able to lighten any situation for others in it. He thought first of his friends, and tried to make their time here better. Sure, he had his faults in life. The stress of being on Death Row, and of everything that comes along with that, got to him like it does every inmate, but when you saw him care for elderly inmates, or try to help a fellow veteran, you saw his true character. He faced many health concerns, most stemming from injuries sustained while he served in the Army but you would never hear him complain of them. He had either a stroke or a cardiac event while playing basketball. He was giggling and making other guys in the game laugh along with him until his last moment. The urgency with which his friends took action to try to help him speaks to what a good man and friend he was. Brother, you are finally on your way home to Alabama. ROLL TIDE ROLL

December 27th, 1967-August 30th, 2017

Sincerely,

J. “Frog” Daveggio
