Stephen Geiger
May 22, 1952 – October 28, 2025
Teacher. Union Advocate. Strong believer in our Public Schools and the dedicated Teachers and Professional Support Staff who help make the magic happen…in spite of the nonsense and obstacles often thrown in their way.
Most importantly, deeply loved…
…Shelley (ever since that night she was on the flip side of a double date 55 years ago), Peter and Colleen (pretty, pretty, pretty wonderful son, and a beautiful, best-ever daughter-in-law), Franklin and Archie (fellow Doughnut Monsters, and full throttle, lovers-of-life grandsons), Mary, Ed, and David (truly unique sister and brothers), Debbie, Kathy, and Vera (a nice melange’ of sisters-in-law), quite a variety of cousins, nephews, and nieces, a generous crowd of good friends (and a special smile for his very close, almost-womb-to-tomb, hangin’ out in the barn friends, the home of some memorable moments and shenanigans), and of course, the one and only Uncle Gordon.
And a very special shout-out to Billie and Ed (mom and dad), who made his life possible.
When all is said and done, he liked to think, at least on his best days, he was a solid B+ person. But, hey, you be the judge.
Any gathering will be private. But should you have the notion, have a toast or roast (you choose!) with your next cocktail.
If of a generous mind, these good people deserve, and would appreciate, whatever contribution you can offer. Thank you.
Visitation: With family and open to the public, Saturday Dec 6th, 11:00am-12:30pm at New Hope Presbyterian Church 1580 Kisker Road St. Charles Mo 63304.

Shelley, I worked with Steve at Howell North. I was an art teacher there. I always admired Steve because he seemed like a real intellectual. And had a wicked sense of humor. Always loved talking with him. He left us too soon. But what great memories. Sad for your loss. And all the best to you and your family. Michael Leistner
I have so many good memories of Steve. Growing up friends with Pete, I got to spend a lot of time at the Geiger household. Steve made me feel like an honorary family member. Some of my favorite memories of Steve are pretty simple, checking in with him the living room when we’d come in from hanging out with friends, chatting with Steve about sports, school, politics, family, whatever, sitting in a recliner chair, talking with “the old man.”
