Kevin was born November 12, 1955 in Fremont to Norman and Lois 'Going' Geisler. He was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church, where he attended school through the 8th grade. He graduated in 1974 from Fremont High School. After high school, Kevin enlisted in the Army and served 3 years in Bomholder, Germany. Kevin was a self employed carpenter, flooring installer and all around handy man. Kevin loved his family, friends, music, and of course, the mountains. He was happiest when he was hiking and spending time outdoors in the Rockies. His passion for the mountains will live on with all of his family and friends alike, who loved him and will miss him dearly.

Estes Park, Co Wednesday, December 15, 2010 To Kevin's family, We are so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. We will miss him so much, he was such a good friend, and a kind soul. We will miss his gentle nature and his robust belly laugh. He did so much for us over the years with many flooring jobs, painting and even helped us re carpet and re upholster our 1955 pontiac. His love of his family and the mountains was so important to him. He had many tender stories he shared about his nieces and nephews as well as his brothers, and sisters and his mom. We always loved hearing about his hikes, sometimes from one end to the other of Lumpy Ridge in one day. We are so sorry.
