SPC Tevin Anthony Geike , 20, of Summerville, SC, formerly of Junction City, KS, passed away unexpectedly on October 5, 2013. Graveside services with full military honors will be held to celebrate Tevin's life at 10:00 am on Tuesday, October 15th at the Highland Cemetery in Junction City, KS with Pastor Gabriel Hughes officiating. Visitation will be held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Monday, October 14th, at Penwell-Gabel Johnson Chapel, 203 N. Washington St. in Junction City. In lieu of flowers, the family would like to encourage friends and loved ones to make a donation in Tevin's memory to the Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675.

He was born on March 30, 1993 in Oswego, NY, to parents Troy and Jennifer Geike. From an early age, Tevin was passionate about his love of his country, and was a member of ROTC in high school.

After graduation, he joined the United States Army in October 2010, where he trained to serve as an aviation operations specialist and was a member of the 7th Infantry Division at Joint Lewis McChord Base in Washington State.

Tevin enjoyed being outdoors, playing video games, and spending time with his family and friends. He also enjoyed writing poetry.
