Kim Edward Geetings, 65, of Honor, died Mon, Jan 20, 2020 in the comfort of his home with his love by his side. He was born Sep 10, 1954 in Frankfort and raised in Honor by his parents, Bernard "Tink" and Patricia (Rosa) Geetings.
Kim met the love of his life, Patricia Marie Allen, as a teenager, and they spent the next five decades building a beautiful life together. They married on Sep 16, 1978 and had one son, Nathan, born Nov 21, 1984.
In 1975 Kim and Patty purchased a septic pumping company, Benzie, Crystal & Interlochen Pumping Service, Inc, Which they continued to grow and expand throughout Northern Michigan over 45 years. Kim devoted his life to his business and helping others and built lasting relationships with his customers that exceeded the norm.
If you didn't know Kim at the start of a conversation, you certainly knew him by the end; he loved to talk and tell stories. He had the ability to make anyone laugh (or blush) through his wit and charm, a special personality that left a lasting impression on everyone. He cherished his family and friendships and was loved by all who met him.
In his spare time, Kim enjoyed driving fast cars, fishing on Crystal and Platte Lakes, polishing and collecting rocks, doing puzzles and relaxing to a good episode of the History Channel. He also enjoyed spending time with his son and grandsons.
Kim is survived by his wife, Patricia (Allen), of Honor; son, Nathan (Brianne) Geetings of Traverse City; grandsons, Mason, Carter and Winston Geetings, of Traverse City; and siblings, Patty (James) Ballard, of Honor, and Barney (Mary) Geetings of Honor.
He was preceded in death by his fther, Bernard Gettings; mother, Patricia (Rosa) Geetings; and brother, Tedd (Shannon) Geetings, all of Honor.
A life celebration open house will be held Sat, Feb 1, 2020, from 1 to 4 pm, at the Platte River Association Hall in Honor. Please join the family in sharing memories, moments and all of the laughs as we say "Cheers to Kim."
