Michael Geise
Michael Jerome Geise, age 57, of Dogwood Drive, Fort Loramie, passed away of natural causes Thursday evening, October 27, 2016, while helping with the fall harvest at the Geise family farm in Sidney, Ohio.
He was born April 24, 1959, in Sidney, Ohio, to Donald and Margaret (Dapore) Geise of Sidney. On June 19, 1981, at St. Michael Catholic Church in Fort Loramie, Mike married Jennifer (Kendall) Geise who survives.
Also surviving are three children, Heather & Todd Prenger of Versailles, Aaron Schafer of New Bremen and Michelle & Dwane Smith of Aberdeen; four grandchildren: Natalie and Lauren Prenger, Destiny, "AJ" Aaron Jr. and "Zeb" Sebastian Schafer; five siblings: John & Kathy Geise of Sidney, Tom & Lisa Geise of Fort Loramie, Don & Cathy Geise of Fort Loramie, Kevin & Angie Geise of Houston, and Peggy & Dave Grewe of Fort Loramie; mother-in-law, Rita Kendall of Minster and sister-in-law, Pam & Mike Peltier of Fort Loramie.
He was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Jerald Kendall.
Mr. Geise was a 1977 graduate of Fort Loramie High School and had been a semi-truck driver employed at Precision Strip Inc. since 1984. He was a member of St. Michael Catholic Church and the Mendon H.O.G. Chapter of Harley owners. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and could tout details about almost any bike, vintage to new. Mike loved his grandchildren and he enjoyed telling stories to make people laugh. He wouldn't miss helping at the farm with spring planting or the fall harvest.
