Dean Bernard Geiger

Dean Bernard Geiger, age 67, of Brillion, passed away on Monday, November 26, 2018 at Crossroads Care Center in Green Bay, surrounded by his loving family.

Dean was born on April 15, 1951 in Green Bay, son of Katherine (Preston) Geiger and the late Bernard Geiger, Sr.  He was a graduate of Brillion High School, class of 1969.  On May 5, 1973, Dean married Deborah “Debbie” Wesener at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Brillion.  They celebrated 45 wonderful years of marriage.  Dean started his working career at the Larson Company as a truck driver.  He and Debbie then bought the Persohn Family Farm on Rusch Road, where they owned and operated a dairy farm for many years.  Farming was his pride and joy.  After selling the cows, Dean worked for Tri-County Farms, worked for the Town of Brillion, and also worked at Gruett’s in Potter.  Dean enjoyed playing cards, tractor rides, going out to eat, and most importantly spending time with the family and grandchildren.

Dean will forever be remembered for his contagious laugh, heart-warming smile, and a spirit of gratefulness and joy.
