Andrew Geckle Obituary
Andrew loved sports, particularly the Orioles, all Gamecocks teams and US Soccer. He traveled to Florida & Mexico and even to Minnesota in the dead of winter, to see the US Soccer Men's team play. He was a member of the American Outlaws Soccer Club and helped plan trips for the club to see games. He participated in indoor and outdoor soccer with his brother David when he could fit it into his schedule.
Above all Andrew loved his family and friends. He also loved dogs and became a dog parent about a year ago. Andrew's infectious smile (with dimples), his quirky sense of humor and his unwavering support for his teams will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy will live on through the countless memories he created with his friends and family.
Andrew is survived by his parents, Suzanne & William Geckle, his brother David (Megan Smith) Geckle, his sister Theresa (Tea) Geckle, his grandmother, Carmela Rosch, his aunts & uncles, Mary Lou & Paul Geckle and Sandy (Rosch) & Ken Narzikul, six cousins and Stimpy (his dog) and Saley (his Russian tortoise).
He was predeceased by his paternal grandparents Paul and Margaret Mary Geckle, his maternal grandfather Rolf Rosch and his cousin Peter Geckle.
Friends can greet the family on Sunday, July 13th at Harry H. Witzke's Family Funeral Home, 4112 Old Columbia Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21043 at 11:30 AM. The Memorial Service will begin at 12 PM.
Memorial contributions can be made in Andrew's name to HopeWorks, a nonprofit where his mother is on the board of directors and that Andrew supported. https://hopeworksofhc.charityproud.org/Donate
