Matthew Geske Obituary
Matt was born to Larry and Sandy Geske on January 13, 1966, in Aurora, Ill., and grew up in Great Falls. Having a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Matt, a database administrator for the Office of Public Instruction, worked in the same office alongside his wife and best friend, Lynnette, whom he married on September 8, 2005. Matt enjoyed the work he did at OPI and the friendships he had there. Family activities brought great pleasure to Matt, along with golf, fishing, cribbage, playing guitar, barbequing, and he received joy from friendship with their 12 pet birds.
Matt is survived by his dearly beloved wife, Lynnette Bunk Geske; father, Larry Geske of Great Falls; brother, Mike Geske, currently working in Saudi Arabia; Lynnette's son, Jeryl Anderson and one granddaughter, Brielle of Helena.
Sandy Geske, Matt's mother, preceded him in death in 2008.

I was speaking with a friend today and learned of Matt's passing. Memories of a cute blonde haired, smiling kid flashed back in my mind as I recalled him from Mountain View Elementary School in Great Falls. So sorry you have lost him way too young. My prayers are for you and Matt's wife.
