He was the beloved husband of Demetria "Deena" Selko with whom he celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary on April 23, 2024. If you knew Gene you would know he didn't like to be celebrated but he enjoyed cheering others up, and being the life of the party with his good sense of humor. Gene proudly served in the United States Navy from 1966 - 1969. Surviving are two children, Beth Habbyshaw (Don) of Fredonia, PA and Jon Selko (Rebecca) of Ohiopyle, PA; two grandchildren, Austin Habbyshaw and McKenzie Selko; also several nieces and nephews. Interment service will be held on Friday, May 24, 2024 at 10:00 AM in the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, 1158 Morgan Rd., Bridgeville, PA. 15017, with full military honors and a celebration of life to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (t2t.org) in memory of Gene Selko. Arrangements by Thomas J. Gmiter Funeral Home.

Served in the Navy with Gene. He always had a great sense of humor! Out of my 22 years in the Navy he was the only person I stayed in contact with! I know he will truly be missed by his family and all who knew him! Our prayers for his family! I was truly blessed knowing him!!

Luke and I are very sorry for your families loss. Gene was a great neighbor with a great sense of humor. Always making a joke when he saw us outside. We loved the Christmas cards every year. We send our love prayers and sympathy to all of you.
