Publish in a newspaper
Gene worked as an HVAC tech for 30 years, the last several of those spent working for Miller's HVAC Services in Wauseon. He enjoyed going to gun shows and spending time with his wife and children at the lake. Gene was an amazing caretaker to his family whom he adored beyond measure. His wife and kids were his everything as he was theirs. Everything he did, he did for them. Jennifer and Gene had a once in a lifetime kind of love and were just simply meant to be. He will be incredibly missed by those who were lucky enough to have known him.
Gene is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer L. Prater; two children, Connor and Leah Prater; siblings, Mike (Diane) Prater, Ted (Melissa) Prater, Greg (Chaloey) Prater, Tia (Chris) Davidson, Jesse (Dana) Cole and Becky (Jason) Hartman; step-siblings, Milo James and Kelley (Robin) Walkup; numerous nieces and nephews, other family and good friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
