FAYETTEVILLE — Jeffrey Edward Geisler Sr.,

75, of Fayetteville died Tuesday, March 9, 2021. He was born Dec. 10, 1945, in Pittsburgh, Pa., the son of Edward and Anna O’Hare Geisler.

Jeff lived the majority of his life in the Philadelphia area. However, around 15 years ago Arkansas became his much-loved home and he quickly became an avid Razorback fan.

Jeff loved coaching youth sports and over the years coached baseball, basketball, and soccer teams. He even enjoyed umpiring baseball games and refereeing basketball games. He loved coaching his own sons when they were young.

He was a sports fanatic and enjoyed a lot of the simple things in life like grilling steaks, watching his beloved Philadelphia Eagles play, and being at the beach with family. He was senior vice president and director of sales for Mac Sports. He was Catholic and served in the Army Reserve.

He is survived by wife Cathy Geisler; sons Jeff Geisler Jr. and wife Meg of Greenwich, Conn., and Michael Geisler of Pittsburgh, Pa.; stepdaughter Ginny Perlman and husband Lee of Denver, Colo.; grandchildren Aquinnah and Graham Geisler of Greenwich, Conn., and Reese and Evie Perlman of Denver, Colo.; sister Judith Ward of Fresno, Calif.; and brother Jon Geisler of Voorhees, N.J.

A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Friday, March 12, 2021, at Moore’s Chapel. Since Jeff never liked to get dressed up, we ask you dress casually.
