In loving Memory
It is with great sadness that we lost Geoff Chao, 46, at the recent OC Half-Marathon. Geoff was a beloved father of three from Aliso Viejo and manager at the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa who had trained for months before taking on the OC Half-Marathon Sunday.
Geoff Chao is survived by his parents Fifi and Patrick Chao of Irvine; his wife Heather and children Ava, 9, Max, 5, and Eli, 3; and his brother Kevin. You can read more about Geoff (and contribute to a family fund set up to help Heather and the children) here. Or donations can be sent to the Geoff Chao Family Fund, Irvine Main Post Office, P.O. Box 16543, Irvine, CA 92623-6543 or Geoff J. Chao Family Benefit Donation Fund, c/o Wells Fargo Bank, P.O. Box 3488, Portland, Ore., 97208-3488 in lieu of flowers. Visit his website to donate online.
A celebration of Geoff’s life will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa 3050 Bristol St., Costa Mesa. 714.540.7000.
