He graduated from Giles High School. Gene retired from Moog with over 25 years of service. Gene had a kind and loving heart. He loved serving and helping others as much as possible. Gene served in the Roanoke Valley Presbyterian Church as a member and elder. He volunteered many years in 4-H and attended Jr. 4-H camp for one week of the summer for years. Gene is an All-star in 4-H. Gene was an Alumni member of the Blacksburg FFA Chapter for many years. He loved farming on the family beef and dairy farm.

Most of all, his love and passion for his wife, Janet for 40 years, his son, daughter and two grandkids. If Gene didn’t pick and bug a little, you knew something was wrong. We will miss you and you were greatly loved by all.
