Geoffrey Edward Martin, 34, of Fargo, died unexpectedly in his sleep of natural causes on May 1, 2023, while visiting at his family’s second home in Watford City, ND.
Geoff was born on June 18, 1988, in Fargo, ND, to Joseph and Michelle (Seeb) Martin. He graduated from Fargo South High School in 2006 and from NDSU in 2014 with a degree in History.
From a young age, Geoff had a love for books, movies and music. He also loved to bike, ski, snowboard, skateboard and keep himself in great physical shape. Everything Geoff pursued, he pursued with passion! He began wrestling in elementary school which ignited his passion for the sport. He wrestled for Fargo South and NDSU before getting involved with area youth wrestling programs. He excelled as an assistant coach at the high school level for both wrestling and cross-country. Geoff made a long-lasting impact on the lives of student athletes across the region, specifically in programs at both Fargo South and Fargo Davies.
He loved spending time with his grandparents and extended family at the family farm in South Dakota, as well as at Pelican Lake in Minnesota with his grandmother Margaret.
Geoff is survived by his parents, Daisy (the dog he rescued), many aunts, uncles, cousins, and members of the high school athletic community.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Donald and Mary Martin, Arthur and Margaret Seeb, uncles, John Martin and Patrick Martin, and his aunt, Shannon Seeb.
In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to the Bison Wrestling Club and/or Davies Wrestling Club.

I got to know Geoff at a really tough time in my life. There are just some people that you look at and you know they are good. I know someday we will cross paths again. Maybe we will find eachother in our struggle and find solace. I wish I would have known how to reach out more. He was full of love and the little memory I have of him is an inspiration. Geoff you are missed, loved and will forever be a marker on my soul that’s asks me to try to be better.
Much Love from the Colter Crew Joe!
