Gene was born and raised in Commerce, GA, and graduated from Banks County High School in 1956. In 1958, he married the love of his life, Gloria Lee Steadman. Gene had a long career spanning 40 years with Sears & Roebuck, where he worked in sales and general contracting in their Remodeling and Design departments. When it came to making sales and knowing his product, Gene excelled, and even won a National Sales Award in 1998.
In his free time, Gene loved woodworking, fishing, and was an avid sports fan. He would follow many teams, but the teams that were most special to him were the UGA Bulldogs and the Atlanta Braves. Gene was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose kindness and genuine spirit will be dearly missed by all who loved him.
