The community of Brecksville, Ohio, and the many family members, friends, and colleagues whose lives were brightened by his presence are enveloped in profound sorrow following the heartbreaking news of the passing of Dr. Eric Geyer. In March 2026, Eric’s journey came to a close, leaving a significant void in the pharmacy profession and the civic life of Northeast Ohio.

His departure has left the Brecksville community in a state of deep shock and mourning as they reflect on a life dedicated to advocacy, mentorship, and a relentless commitment to improving the lives of others.
A Legacy of Sincere Kindness and Radiant Spirit
Dr. Eric Geyer was an individual known for his “warm spirit and genuine kindness,” qualities that earned him the reputation of being a person of immense heart and steady character. An Eagle Scout and a graduate of the University of Toledo, he lived with an open heart, dedicated to the well-being of his patients and his family—his wife, Julie Anne, and their children, Annabelle and Miles. To those who knew him best in Brecksville, Eric was the kind of person who “always showed up,” offering a steady hand, a thoughtful perspective, or a positive word to those around him. Whether he was working at a long-term care pharmacy, advocating for healthcare policy at the state level, or walking the neighborhoods he loved with his three dogs, he moved with a sense of integrity and a quiet strength that was truly infectious. His absence has left an irreparable gap in the lives of loved ones who relied on his consistent, bright presence.
