Mr. Barton ‘Bart’ Edward Geyer, 88, of Hesperia, passed away in his sleep on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. Bart was born in Hart, Michigan, June 15, 1937, to Herbert and Elinor (Schaner) Geyer.
In 1956, Bart graduated from Catholic Central High School in Muskegon, Michigan, where he excelled in track. Following in his father’s footsteps, he worked for the City of Muskegon Department of Public Works. He then studied to be an Electrical Substation Technician out of IBEW Local 876 and worked for Hall Electric and Newkirk Electric until his retirement. He served in the National Guard from 1956-1964 and was a member of the American Legion, Eagles and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Bart will be remembered best for his irreverent humor and ability to laugh at himself.
Bart found the love of his life, Pat (Thompson) Geyer and they married in 1990. They lived in the home Bart built in Oceana County. Together they enjoyed extensive travel, gardening and shared lots of laughter and great times with friends and family.
