Obituary: John Jerald Geiger

John Jerald Geiger, age 61, of Brillion, passed away peacefully surrounded with his family by his side on Friday, July 18, 2025 at Garrow Villa Assisted Living in Brillion.

John was born a very special child of God on November 19, 1963 in Green Bay, son of Kenneth & Beatrice (Kuehnl) Geiger.  He was a graduate of Brillion High School, class of 1982.  John enjoyed cleaning, and he made it a little business.  He cleaned for Jentink Chevrolet, O’Connor’s Pharmacy, Endries International, Brillion Post Office, and the Holy Family Parish priests at their rectory throughout the years.  John really enjoyed vacuuming and figuring out how each unit worked.  He also enjoyed watching “the old shows” as he put it: I Love Lucy, Mamma’s Family, Little House on the Prairie, Carol Burnett, Gunsmoke, and westerns.  He also liked to play cards, especially 21, Kings Corner, Slap Jack, and Solitaire.  He would listen to Polkas and go on “Monday Drives” with his sister Kathryn to get chicken at KFC.  And he truly loved being with his siblings, nieces, nephews, their families, and their dogs. 

John is survived by his parents: Kenneth “Ken” and Beatrice “Bea” Geiger of Brillion; siblings and in-laws: Mary (Lyle) Lannbrecht, Andy (Cara) Geiger, and Kathryn Geiger all of Brillion; nieces and nephews: Christopher (Kendra) Lannbrecht of Brillion, Marissa (Chad) Boesch of Sherwood, Ryan (Jennifer) Geiger of Brillion, and Tanya (Brett) Davis of Valders; great-nieces and great-nephews: Kenzie Lannbrecht, Hadley and Trae Boesch, Brody, Jade, and Luke Geiger, and Amelia, twins: Charles and Caroline, and George Davis who was born just two days after John passed away; cousins, other relatives, and friends.

John was preceded in death by his grandparents:  John & Sophia (Pritzl) Geiger and Reinhold J. and Mary A. (Hill) Kuehnl, uncles and aunts: Lenor (Roman) Endries, LeRoy (Marcella “Sally”) Geiger, and Bernice Dewitt.

John has requested a private family funeral Mass which has been held.
