Steve was born in Anderson, South Carolina on December 28, 1965 to Mr. James Marvin Geer and Joyce Ann Thompson Geer. Steve was married to the love of his life Peggy Delores Giddeon for thirty years. This union was blessed with three wonderful sons; Darius Ka Roderick Geer, Kendal Rashad Geer, and Zarien De Braydon Geer. In his earlier life, Steve graduated from BHP High School in 1984. After high school, he joined the Army National Guard. This led him to serve in the U.S. Army from 1983 – 1990 where he was honorably discharged due to an injury and subsequently retired from the military. After military service, Steve went on to attend Greenville Technical College where he gained certification as a truck driver and later earned his associate degree in Industrial Maintenance. Faith and education were both important to Steve. Thereafter, Steve was employed by Electrolux where he worked as an industrial maintenance technician for nearly six years. He was a member of Welfare Baptist Church where he served as the President of the Youth Brotherhood and as a member of the male chorus. Steve loved working with young men in the church. He played an active role as a leader, mentor, and big brother. He taught them how to fish, play pool, and the importance of living a good Christ-family centered life. Above all Steve loved the Lord and always talked about how good God was. He shared his faith and love for God with his wife, children, and extended family. He took every opportunity to show those around what it meant care, respect, and forgive others. He was personable and perceptive. He was especially sensitive towards his fellow veterans. He would frequently encourage other veterans (post-service) to seek out additional benefits and services that could help them lead a balanced, healthy, and fulfilled life. Most of all, Steve enjoyed spending time and travelling with his beloved family. He was a happy, loving, and kind person who will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him. Steve was a family man and leaves many cherished memories with his devoted wife Peggy and his pride and joy, their sons; Darius, Kendal, and Zarien; all of the home. In addition, precious memories consume his parents: James and Joyce Geer, his two sisters: Shannon R. Geer and LaTorrie Geer; his four brothers: James M. (Sandra) Geer, Robbie (Stephanie) Geer, Shawn Geer and Quinton (Popotti) Martin all of Anderson, S.C.; his brother in law: Matthew Giddeon, and his God-sister Regina Reid. So many memories are treasured by his aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, co-workers, and friends. He was preceded in death by his eldest sister; Tina Geer.
