Gene RAGAN Obituary

RAGAN, Gene

Gene Ragan, age 75 of Huber Heights, passed away peacefully at home on April 18, 2022. He was born September 30, 1946, in Portsmouth, OH, to the late Howard Sr. and Clara Ione (Williams) Ragan.

He is survived by his loving wife, Penny Ragan; sisters, Lana Van Winkle and Jan Ragan; close first cousins, Junior (Chris) Williams and Jim Williams; special daughter, Jeri (Austin)

Sheriff; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and dear dear friends.

Gene enjoyed riding all around on his Harley with his wife and friends. It would be hard catch Gene without his phone in his hand talking with his good buddies. Gene worked and retired from FloServe after over 32 years of service. He highly respected Sgt. Kelco while he was active in the U.S. Marine Corp during Vietnam where he lost many friends. Gene often wondered why he made it back home and they didn't.
