Above all, Gene loved Jesus with all of his heart, and it showed by how he served others. He was a member of First Evangelical Church and the Believing Crusaders Sunday School Class, and he served in various leadership roles at the church. One of his greatest joys was visiting shut-ins and witnessing about his love for his Lord. He served on the Timber Ridge Neighborhood HOA and was passionate about keeping his neighborhood litter free and beautiful. Gene enjoyed fishing, walking and studying the Word of God. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and uncle.
