Don Geasland

Madison- Don E. Geasland, age 71, died on Friday, July 20, 2018 at his home. He was born in Bagley on November 9, 1946 to Edward and Josephine (Blum) Geasland. On July 13, 1974 Don married Lavon Berndt in Lancaster. They recently celebrated their 44th anniversary with family on Saturday, July 14th which Don greatly enjoyed. Don worked at Carnes & Co. and Schoep's Ice Cream. He owned and operated Geasland's Woodworking business for many years, making bunk beds and craft items, a business he was very proud of. Don was an avid Milwaukee Brewer and Green Bay Packer fan. He would spend many games yelling at the TV "hit the darn ball", "get that pitcher out of there," "send then down to the minors and bring up some good players", or "tackle that guy!" Don is survived by his wife, Lavon; son, Brian (Laura); grandchildren, Andrew and "his princess" Gabrielle; brother, Charles (Elke); brothers-in-law, Virgil (Janet) Berndt and Joe Joyce; sister-in-law, Judy Geasland; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Mary Ann Marvin, Sharon Joyce, and Bernadine; and brothers Gary and infant Burdette. Memorial services will be held at 10:30am on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at Cress Funeral Home in McFarland, with Pastor Michael Bausch officiating. Friends and relatives are invited to a luncheon, immediately following, at McFarland UCC, 5710 Anthony Street, McFarland. Friends may greet the family from 9:00 AM until the time of services at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to McFarland Food Pantry, or SSM Health at Home Hospice.
