15, 1957, in Birmingham, Alabama. He passed away peacefully on January 20, 2026, at UAB
Medical West Hospital.
Gene was a dedicated, hardworking man and a devoted father and Pawpaw. He proudly served
the City of Hueytown for 15 years before retiring in 2023. He found great joy in riding horses,
riding his motorcycle, and being a member of the Iron Angels Motorcycle Club. Gene also
enjoyed spending time outdoors tinkering with projects, gardening during the summer months,
and riding his boat. A true sports enthusiast, he loved watching football and was a proud Auburn
fan.
Above all, Gene was a family man who cherished time spent at family gatherings. He had a gift
for conversation and never met a stranger, leaving a lasting impression wherever he went.
While his loss is deeply felt on earth, it is certain he has already made new friends in heaven.
Gene will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
