From the Winston Salem Journal, 4 May 2012:

Geoffrey Craig Kugel (born May 17, 1976) went home to his Heavenly Father's arms unexpectedly on May 2, 2012. There are no words available to express this loss to those who were a part of Geoff's life here on earth. Those who knew Geoff knew love, honor, trustworthiness, gentleness, and unselfishness personified. His heart was open to anyone and everyone. He loved deeply and truly, and those in his presence knew undoubtedly that he was a very special man. The usual obituary details are not important, as he did not define himself by these things. He defined himself as a loving, loving husband; a devoted and amazing father; a faithful son; a kind brother; a fun and caring uncle; and accepting friendthough in his Christ-like humility, he actually would have shunned all these accolades and diverted the praise to someone else. Those missing him with all their hearts include his wife, Nicole Kugel; his children George and Annie; his parents, Craig and Nancy Kugel; his sisters and their spouses, Kathy Albright and Missy Smith; nieces; nephews, friends, neighbors; co-workers; and anyone who spent time in his presence. A celebration of Geoff's life will be held on Sunday, May 6, 2:00 p.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church of Greensboro. The family will receive friends following the service at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Lottie Moon Missions Offering, C/O Immanuel Baptist Church, 2423 High Point Road, Greensboro, NC 27403. Hanes Lineberry Sedgefield Chapel is assisting the Kugel family.
