Eugene “Gene” Wynne
February 14, 1937 – August 20, 2025

Gene found joy in life’s simple pleasures by tending to his garden, casting a fishing line, watching old westerns, and savoring vanilla ice cream. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, steady presence, and the love he carried for his family.
He was preceded in death by his sons Michael Hernandez, Gene “Tiger” Wynne Jr., and Keith “Skeeter” Wynne.
