Gene dedicated his life to caring for his family, immediate and extended alike. He spent his time, love, and money for God and his family. I remember calling him daddy at young age of 5 and he was one to me. I am so thankful for his guiding hand in making sure we were in church. Grown up and looking back, I appreciate him even more knowing how hard it is to raise children myself and how hard he worked for his families. He will truly be missed.

I am a personal friend of Lorrie Tyner. When I learned of Gene's passing, I asked her to send me the obituary so I could learn more about who he was and how he lived. After reading his story, I got the impression he was an amazing fellow. Dave, Lorrie and all family members and friends, please accept my sincere condolences on his passing. His love and light will always live on in your hearts and memories. - God bless.
