Geoffrey Kendall Coen
November 14, 1970 – March 18, 2021

Geoffrey K. Coen was born November 14, 1970 in Petersburg, VA to Kendall and Susan Coen. He took his final breath on Thursday, March 18, 2021. He was 50 years old.

Geoff graduated from Ellison High School and received a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University. He worked as a biomedical engineer at Lockheed Martin and at NASA where he was an integral part of the space program. He was an expert in systems engineering and received recognition for his work in 1E procedures. His colleagues knew him as a leader and a mentor. He made significant accomplishments in human space flight, including work on the space shuttle and the international space station.

Geoff’s greatest joy was his son, Kendall. He also enjoyed reading, playing golf and interacting with his friends and family on multiple virtual platforms. He was incredibly intelligent and quick witted. He was a caring man who always had time for others. He loved deeply and sacrificially. He was frugal yet generous. He brought comfort to many with his calm spirit. He always put others before himself. He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends and colleagues.

He is survived by his 11-year-old son, Kendall Z. Coen; his mother, Susan Coen; his sister, Jennifer Roden (Chance); his brother, Marshall Coen (Jill) and his son’s mother, Lisa Coen. He is also survived by 10 nephews: James, Matthew, Thomas, Ethan, Austin, Silas, Jude, Ira, Ezra, and Zecharias. He was preceded in death by his father, Kendall B. Coen, and his nephew, Daniel Mataska.

The funeral will be on Friday, March 26 at 4:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Killeen, TX. It will be live streamed at www.youtube.com/fbckilleen. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made toward Kendall’s college education at https://gofund.me/7efdfa71 or to NASA in Geoff’s memory via www.challenger.org.
