Ronald George Geiger, a beloved husband and devoted father was born on March 2, 1943, in Bismarck, North Dakota and passed away on July 26, 2024, in Richland, Washington.

After graduating Mandan High School, Ron went on to attend the University of North Dakota, earning his bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering in 1968. He married his high school sweetheart, Eileen in 1965, then went on to bring his family to Richland, Washington and kick start his career a few years later.

Ronald’s path through life was marked by dedication and passion for his craft as a Systems Analyst with various contractors over his career out at the Hanford site, eventually retiring in 1998 from Lockheed Martin Hanford.  Although dedicated to his career, Ron was also a man of multifaceted interests; he was an avid upland game bird hunter and water fowler, enjoyed Alpine Mountain climbing where he ascended Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Hood, and Mount Baker, and as a self-taught master woodworker, his attention to detail shined in the creations made for family and friends. Ron was also a lifetime member at the Rattlesnake Mountain Shooting Facility, where he enjoyed trap shooting and the camaraderie with other members, forming lasting friendships with many.

Ron was a loving husband and devoted father.  His greatest joy was being a grandpa to his grandkids.  Ron leaves behind his wife, Eileen Geiger, having been married for 59 years. Ronald is also survived by his sons, Gary and Bryce (Kimberly) Geiger, as well as grandsons Eli and Brody Geiger, granddaughter Ashley (Jason) Kuch, great granddaughter Paisley Kuch, and sisters Lyla Hochandel (Englewood, Colorado) and Renee Krause (Belle Fouche, South Dakota).
