John Geddert

John Gerald Geddert (December 21, 1957 – February 25, 2021) was an American gymnastics coach. He coached Olympic champion Jordyn Wieber and was a head coach for the London 2012 US Olympic Gymnastics Team. He worked with sex offender Larry Nassar. He was born in Michigan.

Geddert was charged with physical, psychological and sexual abuse. One day after USA Gymnastics announced suspension of Geddert's membership pending investigation into the abuse allegations, Geddert retired from coaching.

On February 25, 2021, Geddert shot himself at a rest area off Interstate 96 in Grand Ledge, Michigan, just hours after he had been charged with 24 felony crimes. He was 63 years old.
