GSM of Criswell Chevrolet~Brian Geist 57 passes away Jan 2nd~
I had known Brian Geist since the late 90's and it is with a heavy heart that I inform all the Corvette Forum members that he put up a good fight but has gone on to Heaven on January 2nd. Approx 4 months ago we found out Brian had Bladder Cancer and the last 5 weeks he had been getting Chemo treatments all the while reporting to work. He was there at his desk Dec 31st when I said goodbye and Happy New Year. Brian had been the General Sales Manager for Criswell Chevrolet for the past 6 years and was the best car guy I ever worked with.
Just two weeks ago....
and last year at a golf tournament...Brian is far left and then myself.

What a loss! Every time I've been there, Brian's been there working, moving around, always available, watching over the entire floor. My condolences to the entire Criswell team.

So sad and sorry to hear of Brian's passing. I met Brian when I purchased the 427 Convertible from you back in August. I could tell immediately that his friendliness was genuine and not just over the sale of a car! Again, so sorry to hear about this!

As you know I am quite saddened by this news. Please pass our condolences on to his immediate family and to his extended family at Criswell Chevrolet.
I've been there with the passing of my former wife to cancer at 55 after a 3 yr struggle. My current spouse lost her husband to cancer while in his 40's. It's a very rough emotional road to be on when a dear friend and loved one dies.
