Longtime freelance television sports and entertainment producer and stage manager Adam ‘Snacks’ Geller passed away on January 2, 2017, at the age of 39, after a years-long battle with cancer. He leaves behind a wife and young daughter.
The word beloved is frequently used to describe the deceased, but Snacks Geller really was beloved.
The UFC offered a tribute during the UFC Fight Night 103 broadcast.
Ariel Helwani posted a series of appreciations on his social network.

A GoFundMe has been set up to cover funeral expenses, and a scholarship fund for his daughter, Sydney.
The world lost a truly wonderful man today.
Adam passed away after a two-year battle with colon cancer. Although cancer took his young life at just 39 years of age, it never took his spirit, and it never took his sense of humor.
Adam was known for his jokes, and his wild antics while working for UFC, Showtime, and the Brooklyn Nets. His pranks were nothing short of Legendary.
I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with him these past 3 years. I’ve never seen him unhappy. But the day I saw him the absolute happiest was on October 14th, 2015. It was the day his daughter Sydney was born.
Adam was a wonderful husband and father. He touched so many lives and gave everyone a lot of laughs along the way.
He leaves behind his wife Debra, and his 1-year-old daughter.
I would like to raise money for his funeral, as well as money for his daughter Sydney to go to college. Please donate whatever you can. Even if it’s 5 dollars. This is a man who would have done anything for his family, friends, and colleagues. Let us all help out during this tragic time.
Please donate here, if you are able.
