Dan was very mechanically inclined and he enjoyed spending time in his garage working on and fixing many different things, including automobiles.

Daniel Geibe, 70, from Columbia, passed away unexpectedly at home in the early morning of Friday, November 4th. Dan was the son of the late Howard and Emmer Geibe. Dan grew up just outside of Columbia and graduated from Hempfield High School in 1971. 

In the late 1980’s thru mid 1990’s Dan volunteered as a youth baseball and football coach for the CBAA in Columbia. Dan worked as a forklift mechanic at the former Grinnell/ ITT in Columbia in the late 1970s thru 1987 and then at Lift Inc in Lancaster from 1987 until his retirement in December of 2019. In retirement, Dan was a part- time driver for Buck Hill Construction. 

Dan was very mechanically inclined and he enjoyed spending time in his garage working on and fixing many different things, including automobiles. He also enjoyed the many beach trips to Ocean City, New Jersey that he took with his family, including the most recent trip this past October. Dan could also be found watching some of his favorite things on TV such as the Philadelphia Phillies baseball games, NASCAR races, the tv show American Pickers, and TV programs about the Alaskan Triangle. Dan also relished spending time with his grandson Chase and had a love for hot rods. 

Dan was preceded in death by his brother Leon. Dan is survived by his wife, Sally, of 48 years, two sons, Justin from Columbia, and Josh, husband of Gretchen Geibe from Red Lion, and one grandson, Chase and sister Rodena Blank from Gap. 

The family would like to thank everyone who has reached out with their thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement.
