Adrian “80” Carlos Geiger

Adrian “80” Carlos Geiger, lifelong resident of Theresa, passed away at the age of 75 at his home on June 24, 2023.
“80” was born in Madison to Albert and Anita (Pahnke) Geiger.
“80” grew up in Theresa and attended Theresa Public School and Mayville High School, graduating in 1966. After graduation, he started employment at the Gehl Company in West Bend. He worked there for 39 years until the Gehl Company ended production. He also worked for the SooLine Railroad and the Dodge County Housing as a maintenance man.
“80” and his wife bought and operated, along with their three children, “The Mart,” on main street Theresa for numerous years. Fond memories were made for many people at “The Mart.” He and his wife also bought a bar on main street Theresa, which was well known as “The Bear’s Den,” “Mark’s Get-A-Way,” “Fred’s Garage,” “Paliden’s” and a few others. “80” was always searching for his next endeavour.
On November 25, 1967, “80” married Mary A. Klumpjan. They lived almost 56 years together, raising three model children, whom became his pride and joy.
He and his wife enjoyed many travels, including Hawaii (numerous times), Alaska, Mexico, Jamaica, Las Vegas, casino trips and many more.
“80” is survived by his devoted wife, Mary; his three children, Jill Geiger Firehammer – husband, Mike, Rick Geiger – wife, Terri Budahn Geiger, and Chad Geiger – wife, Laura Jewson Geiger; “Papa” to nine grandchildren whom he loved and was so proud of beyond words, Cindy Geiger Bottine – husband, Jeremy, Nick Geiger – wife, Ali Wittchow Geiger, Andrea Geiger – friend, Weston DeKoning, Natalie Geiger Wondra – husband, Dustin, Crystal Geiger, Nadean Geiger – friend, Drake Fleischman, Cole Geiger, Lacey Firehammer and Trent Vielbig; “Great Papa” to four great-grandchildren, Jaxon Bottine, Payton Bottine, Jaiden Firehammer and Trinity Firehammer. He is further survived by two brothers, one sister, three sisters-in-law, three brothers-in-law, and many nieces and nephews.
“80” was preceded in death by his father, Albert; his loving mother, Anita; his father-in-law and mother-in-law; and his precious great-grandchild of 45 days, his little angel, Alayna Bottine.
Remember “80” as a “go to man,” a “Jack of all trades,” a “fixer of everything,” and mostly a loving husband, father, and especially a loving “Papa” to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Playing poker with his family and enjoying “salted in the shell peanuts” on the picnic table by the river were his special times.

Per “80”s request, no visitation or funeral.  A private burial will be at a later date.
