Dr. George M. Gasser

Dr. George Martin Gasser III, a respected physician and member of the community, passed away on February 28, 2025, at the age of 73. Born in Kirksville, Missouri on March 20, 1951, George dedicated his life to the service of others, both through his medical practice and his engagement with the world.

A graduate of Potosi High School, he continued his education at NMSU (Truman) and the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Gasser achieved dual board certification in Family Practice and Obstetrics & Gynecology, reflecting his unwavering commitment to patient care. Throughout his career, he delivered countless babies, leaving a lasting impact on the families he served. His dedication extended beyond the clinic, as he actively supported various charitable causes. In his final act of generosity, he became an organ donor.

George possessed a wide range of interests. He was an avid sports fan and found pleasure in outdoor activities, including gardening and tending to his tractor, "Old Blue." He maintained a keen interest in automobiles, enjoyed grilling, and held a deep appreciation for World War II history. A lifelong learner, he encouraged intellectual curiosity in those around him, often reminding them to "learn something new today." George was a skilled storyteller who shared his sense of humor with his family and others, helping to balance the seriousness of life with lightheartedness. Above all, he valued the time he spent with his family.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Robin; his children, Courtney (Kevin), Breanna (Rocky), and George IV (Alix); and his grandchildren, Joey, Dylan, and Charlee Paige.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. George and Lillian Gasser, and his brother, Greg.  George’s legacy will endure through the lives he touched, both professionally and personally, and he will be remembered fondly by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to Tunnels to Towers or MidAmerica Transplant.

A memorial gathering to celebrate George’s life will be held on April 12, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Cozean Memorial Chapel, located at 217 West Columbia Street, in Farmington.    View the tribute video and share your condolences at cozeanfuneralhome.com.
