Chad R. Geer, age 52, Logansport, passed away on Monday, June 29, 2020 at his home surrounded by family.

Born June 25, 1968, in Wauseon, Ohio, Chad was the son of Randy and Sharlene Krieger Geer. His mother, Sharlene (Ken) Honegger, survives, residing in Bluffton, Indiana. His father, Randy, survives, residing in South Whitley.

Chad was a graduate of Whitko High School in South Whitley. He then attended Purdue University, where he was a member of Farm House Fraternity and earned a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics. He also completed the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin.

Chad worked in the banking industry for 28 years. He served as a loan officer with Farm Credit, President for Salin Bank, then spent the last twelve years working for Logansport Savings Bank as their Executive Vice President.

Chad was a very active and vital member of the Logansport and Cass County Community, serving within multiple organizations in an effort to give back and better the community in which his family lived.

He served and held leaderships positions with several organizations, including: Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation, Cass County Family Y, Logansport Rotary Club, Tipton Masonic Lodge #33, United Way of Cass County, First United Methodist Church, and countless others.

Chad developed a passion of agriculture at a young age on his family farm and continued to pursue his passion of farming throughout his adult life, where he was often quoted as saying, “nature is my church.” Chad also enjoyed traveling and making memories with his family and friends.
