Vale Geof Wilson
A faithful friend, gentle neighbour and devoted husband.
Today our congregation and community gather to farewell Geoff Wilson, a much-loved husband, son, brother, farmer, neighbour and friend.
Geoff is fondly remembered for his kindness, gentle spirit, strong work ethic, and willingness to help wherever he was needed. He loved farming and took particular joy intending to his vegetable garden, sharing both his produce and his knowledge with others.
Geoff's quiet service and care for the community touched many
and will not be forgotten. Over the years Geoff faced his health challenges with courage and determination, supported faithfully by his devoted wife Colleen, who's loving care sustained him throughout a difficult journey. We also hold in our prayers Geoff's mum Norma, brother Neil and all the family who mourn his loss.
As a community, we share in this sadness. Many of us have lost a friend, a neighbour, a familiar presence whose kindness made our lives richer. Yet even in our grief, we give thanks for Geoff's life, for the love he shared, and for the example he set.
Today we find comfort in the words of the scripture:
"for everything there is a season, a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die.... he has made everything beautiful in its time"
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 11
May God grant peace and comfort to Colleen, Geoff's family, and all who loved him. May the memories of Geoff's gentleness, generosity and faithful presence continue to bless our community for years to come.
'Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted"
Matthew 5:4
Please keep the Wilson family in your thoughts and prayers as we gather to celebrate Geoff's life and commend him into Gods loving care.
