Kenneth Geiger Obituary
Kenneth W. "Ken" Geiger, 56, of Peoria, AZ, passed away peacefully January 24, 2014. He was born on August 5, 1957 in Wauseon, OH to Kenneth Geiger, Sr. and Vivian Benson. Ken was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. His spirit lives on through his wife Deborah, his son Ross, mother Vivian, siblings Larry, Vivian, Steve, brother-in-law Keith Collins, niece Elise and many dear friends. Ken graduated from Delta High School, attended The Ohio State University and earned his degree from Northern Arizona University. Those that were blessed to have known Ken will forever remember his charismatic smile, unforgettable laugh, fun-loving personality and positive attitude. Ken could make friends with anyone, and he had a huge impact on the lives of those he crossed paths with on his life journey. Ken defined hard work, embraced the underdog mentality, and proved that with a little bit of faith, anything you want in life is attainable. He was a huge inspiration on everyone around him. He took great pride in his neighborhood, most importantly neighbors who became extended family. In addition to being a diehard Ohio State Buckeye, Ken enjoyed supporting the Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Tigers and the Brophy Broncos. A Celebration of Ken's Life will be held Sunday, February 16, 2014. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the James Cancer Center Development Office, Attn: Ken Geiger Memorial, 660 Ackerman Rd., PO Box 183112, Columbus, OH 43218-3112.

As a cousin of Ken,I always have fond memories of getting together when we were children. A time when families visited on a regular basis, Sunday afternoons and holidays were special times to look forward to. Playing sandlot football, shooting baskets or just wrestlin' around. I miss you Ken.
