Our beloved Gregory Paul Geiger passed away on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, in Jefferson, Louisiana with loved ones surrounding him, at the age of 59. Born October 7, 1966, in Austin, TX, Greg graduated high school from Ridgedale Academy in 1984. Upon completion of a postsecondary certification, Greg worked as a Commercial Diver for 5 years. He transitioned to the automotive industry where he built an illustrious career as a successful businessman in Finance and Management. After retiring, Greg pursued his many interests in entrepreneurship, owning and operating a family business until the time of his passing.

Greg was preceded in death by his father, Dr. Paul Frank Geiger and his loyal companion, LB Geiger. LB was Greg's devoted English Bulldog who was by his side for nine years.

Greg is survived by his loving wife, Melissa Lott Geiger, daughter, Jenna Leigh Iris Geiger,

mother, Brenda Smith Geiger, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, Jerry and Linda Lott, Brother in-law and Sister-in-law, Patrick and Michelle Lott Echols, his niece, Logan Shelby Echols,

Brother and Sister-in-law, Sam Rayburn Geiger and wife Jana, Uncle Jerry Smith and wife Pam, and Uncle Fred Emile Geiger.

Greg was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing with friends and family at various courses over the years. Greg cherished time spent at home watching movies. Greg also loved sports and cheering for his LSU Tigers. He was a devoted husband to Melissa, a terrific father to Jenna, a caring son to his mother Brenda, a doting uncle to Logan, and was affectionately known as "Pop-Pop" to his Grand dog, Molly Monroe.

Greg will be remembered for his vivid storytelling, his endless curiosity of finding the next "business adventure", his smile, and his unconditional love for his close family and dear friends. Greg will be deeply missed.

In accordance with Greg's wishes, no service will be held at this time. A celebration of life to honor Greg will take place at a later date.
