Geoff was born October 15, 1986 in Provo, Utah to David and Anne McRae. He grew up in Southern California where he developed a zest for life. To sum up Geoff’s earthly existence, he was beautiful. He was loving, kind, funny, and helpful. He was a faithful husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and family. On more than one occasion, he could be found putting aside his own projects to help a friend in need. Geoff was a lover of life, an example to many, and a man amongst men.

Geoff was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served an honorable two year mission for the church in Fort Worth, Texas. Geoff truly loved missionary work and serving others. All that he came in contact with felt his love for his Savior Jesus Christ. He loved to serve and he loved those that he served. After his service he returned to Fort Worth to marry his new love, McKinzie. Geoff had met his match, his equal, and his challenge. Someone who was more stubborn and appreciated his need for friends and could match his sarcasm and moods. They made a great couple and were perfect for each other.

Geoff enjoyed working with his hands and creating complex wood working projects for their home. Most of the furniture in his home was built by his creative hand. He was very talented and if he lacked anything in talent, he more than made up for it in determination to get the project finished.

Geoff was a registered EMT and studied to become a Firefighter/Paramedic for a time in Fort Worth, but ultimately chose a different path when he began working for Rio Oil and Gas. He loved what he was doing as an analyst and loved everybody that he worked with.

Geoff was taken too early.

He is survived by his wife McKinzie; his sons, Adam (6) and Dexter (2 months); his daughter, Harley (3); brothers, Joel McRae and Austin Rowe, sisters, Aubrey Kleinschmidt and husband, Michael and Cheyenne Rowe; parents Bill and Anne Rowe, and David McRae.

We are so sorry to hear of Geoff's passing such a tragic way. No parent should ever have to lose a child at such a young age. There is nothing I can say that will make you feel any better. We know where he's gone, but that does not take away the times you will miss him. I know from experience you will always feel like there is a piece of you missing and remember not to dwell on that because he will be ok. My heart goes out to you and if you ever need to talk We have walked in those shoes, and it's a hard walk. We send you our love and prayers for your families.

Bill Chapman left a message on June 24, 2016:
I was shocked to hear about the accident that took Geoff's life. He was a gentle soul with a lot of courage. His kindness and sensitivity were beyond the normal allotment for human beings. Part Angel, I think. Although we do not understand why, and the hurt from the loss for us is great, I know that Our Heavenly Father felt that it was time for him to come home. We will not understand these things until we can see the big picture. In the meantime, we need to have faith in the plan of salvation and deal with this just as Geoff would have himself and would certainly want us to do. That is, continue on with faith, hope and charity. From the Chapman family, we extend the most heartfelt condolences and love to Ann, Bill, Joel, Austin, Cheyenne and the rest of the family and friends. We love you guys!

We were very saddened to hear about what happened to Geoff (Elder McRae). He was one of those really special missionaries and was a great example to the youth in our ward (Trophy Club). He had a particular impact on my son, Nathan, motivating him from a young age to want to serve a mission himself for which we will always be grateful. His work here will not be forgotten.

Geoff will be forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He was such an amazing spirit, very funny and lively. He was definitely taken too early from everyone especially his wife and children. My dondolences and deepest symapthies go out to the Shuldberg and McRae families during this sorrowful and trying time.

I had the pleasure of knowing Geoff when he was young. He was in my home on many occasions. He was a joy and (a mischief maker). He was always testing to see what he could get away with and loved teasing his siblings. He brought lots of love along with him as well. My daughter Mindy baby set for Anne on many occasions and she recalls how he tried to coax his little brother Joel into doing dare devil things (like riding his bike off the front porch of their mobile home. She was able to catch Joel and the bike,leaving her with only a few bruises). She tells of other memories both near and dear to her time spent with, Aubrey, Geoff, and Joel. He will be missed by all who know and love him. Our condolences to the family you are all in our thoughts and prayers. In Loving Memory, Janine M.(Clark),White
