Gene was a classmate of mine. I am sorry to all of you for his loss. I have not seen him in years. But the loss is no less painful. He made school bearble between him and his brother Terry, always going on about going out water skiing when the ice was barely off the lakes! May you all find peace and comfort during this time. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. God's Peace to you all.

Everybody’s comments are right on. Gene enjoyed helping people and helped everybody! He helped me make a video at school, and it was very good. Of course, he was the star of it! My favorite memory of Gene and his twin brother, Terry, is when they showed up at prom sharing a tux. One wore the trousers and the other wore the top items! I still smile every time I think of that! Gene will be missed.

So very sad! Our hearts go out to Gene’s family and his family of friends. We loved getting to know Gene at CFC and loved it when he came back to the campground to entertain us as a DJ. He was a good friend and a someone you could count on. We will miss you Gene. ❤️

I’m the girlfriend of one of Gene’s coworkers at Wheelco, Ethan. My heart breaks for you and your family and although I never personally knew Gene, Ethan would always tell me how great of a guy he was and how much he enjoyed working with him. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain your family is going through, but I hope you find peace knowing he is free of pain and in heaven. My prayers are with you all.
