David Lynn Geyer, a

loving Father, Son, Broth-

er, Uncle, and Friend

72 on Wednesday, Sep-

home in Kenmare.

Dave was born on July

29, 1946 in Minot to Lynn

and Julia (Solem) Geyer.

He was raised in the

Donnybrook/Carpio area.

He graduated from Carpio

in 1964. In 1966 he briefly

attended Minot State

University before joining

the US Navy where he

served in the Vietnam

War. He received several

meritorious awards for his

service and was honor-

ably discharged.

After serving our Coun-

try, Dave moved to

Colorado and worked con-

struction. He then re-

turned to Kenmare where

he worked at Peterson

Chevrolet. He also worked

at the Farmers Union Oil

as a “Parts Man” for 40

years until he retired; and

was a part time farmer

during that period.

Dave was united in

marriage to Joan (Acker-

man) Johnson on No-

vember 1, 1982 in Minot.

While they had no chil-

dren together, Dave inher-

ited 5 children from a pre-

vious marriage. They en-

joyed dancing, bowling,

going to the races, and

traveling (even though he

hated flying). Dave’s

favorite place to go was

Hawaii as that is where he

was stationed while he

was in the service. Joan

passed away in 2007.

on the golf course he

would be out there every
