Gene is survived by his spouse of 67 years, Gloria Lee Starcher, of Beckley, three children, Gene Darius(Dar) Starcher, of Georgia, Vincent (Doug) and wife Sandee, and daughter, Deborah all of Beckley. He is also survived by eleven wonderful grandchildren and four great grandchildren, a sister, Shirley Tabor, of Mississippi, and nieces and nephews.
As a young man, Gene joined the National Guard and proudly served his country. He was a simple man who loved life and his family and friends. He enjoyed making people laugh, and he never met a stranger. He was caring toward everyone, but always did everything his own way. He was passionate about old cars, trains and dozers, and woodworking. Gene is loved dearly and will be greatly missed by all. As his father was to his children, dad was the Starcher rock.
