Timothy Edward Geier

October 14, 1988 – August 10, 2024

Father, Son, Brother, Friend, Child of God

Timothy went to be with his Lord on Saturday morning, from natural causes, at age 35.

He was born in Portales, New Mexico, situated on the Llano Estacado–wide windswept plains – and his heart was always most at home in the countryside.

His childhood was spent at various locations where the Air Force sent his adoptive parents, Paul and Jocelyn. In New Mexico he loved the expansive, sun-swept skies, in England he clambered on castle ruins, he then adventured with buddies in the creeks and woods of Virginia and learned to play hard and make friends in each new house. As he grew, so did the adventures and imaginations. In the Mohave desert he built forts of rock and rebar, scaled cliffs and encountered wild cats and wild horses; he rode his bike fast and far. We won’t go into the large-scale trebuchet he built…the neighbor’s car is ok.

Tim was a hard worker and started paying jobs at 15. He was a certified auto mechanic and HVAC Tech. He was an entrepreneur and a volunteer firefighter. He did concrete and drywall. He worked maintenance and production at a nuclear facility. He was fascinated with electricity and how everything worked. He was happiest solving problems (and has a couple of patents) and changing up what he was working on. When things were too much, he would get out to nature to kayak, to talk to God. He knew that God loved him. He told us of once being in the presence of God and having a choice – to have an easy life or to keep  seeking God and the way would be harder. Tim chose to seek God and the harder way. Some of the time his way was harder because of his life choices, but sometimes his way was hard for the refining it produced in his life.

Tim had a heart for family and friends. He was constantly building things or fixing things for his friends, brother Nicholas, and sister Rebekah. He counted all he met as a friend with no judgement. He gave freely to everyone he encountered and often found that he had over promised just because of his willing heart. Tim never slowed down until this summer.

He had many loves in his life, but he was most proud of his baby girl, his beloved Jane Elizabeth. He lived for his time with her and was so very excited about his visits, including the one he had planned for August 10th. She is his legacy and his joy.

Tim is survived by his beloved daughter Jane Elizabeth, Mother, Father, brother, sister, birth-mother Molly Hudson, Grandma Rosemary Geier, Grandma Marillyn Hanson, aunts uncles, cousins, nephew, loving friends, and neighbors.
