In loving memory of Donald Alan Geis
October 19, 1956 - July 31, 2025
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Donald Alan Geis. A beloved husband, father, brother, and friend who departed this life, leaving behind cherished memories and a true legacy of love.
Don is survived by his devoted wife, Blanca Goins, and his beloved son, Stacy Gene Goins, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond. He was welcomed into eternal rest by his beloved parents, Donald and Vivian Geis, whose love shaped the man he became; by his dear brother, James Geis, whose memory he carried closely in her heart. He also leaves behind his stepchildren, Carlos Guillen, Marcio Guillen, Jose Guillen, and Ivo Guillen, each of whom he cared for deeply.
Don had a gift for making people feel welcome, known for his warmth, generosity, and kind spirit, he touched the lives of all who had the privilege to know him. Whether it was cooking a delicious meal to bring family together or sharing stories that lit up the room, Don's love for family and friends was unmistakable.
Above all, Don cherished time spent with his son, Stacy. Their connection was one of true friendship, built on love, laughter, and countless shared memories.
His presence in our lives was a blessing, and his absence leaves a space that cannot be filled. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
