Sterling Eugene "Gene" Goslin, 67, Dwight, Kansas and formerly of Manhattan, passed away November 5, 2025.
Gene was born on April 18, 1958, in Corpus Christi, Texas, the son of Sterling Eugene Goslin Jr. and Billie Jean (Huddelston), he was the oldest of four children.
While serving in the U.S. Army at Fort Riley, he met Jean Dobson. They were married on March 31, 1979, in Manhattan. After his honorable discharge from the Army, he started his 40-year career at Parker Hanafin.
Gene was a very active and involved father with his three children. From coaching softball, being a livestock leader in 4-H and supporting any wild and crazy ideas his kids came up with. Even though Gene was busy with work and his kids, he always made time to help on the family farm. He did anything from planting the fields, to putting up hay and working the cattle. He enjoyed life but not as much as he loved being a grandfather to his ten wonderful grandchildren.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents Sterling and Billie Goslin.
He is survived by his wife Jean; his daughters, Jerilyn Longren (Jared) of Dwight, Danielle Anderson (Bob) of Riley, his son Keith (Tonya) of Alta Vista; his ten grandchildren: Courtney Anderson, Tyson Goslin, Caden Doherty, Brendan Longren, Warren Longren, Westin Anderson, Corbin Anderson, Grayson Longren, Case Mulligan, and Theodore Goslin; his siblings, Robert Goslin (Gail) of Jourdanton, Texas, Pam Manning (Bobby) of Jourdanton, Texas, and Joseph Goslin (Elisa) of Pleasanton, Texas.
The family will greet friends during a visitation from 6:00 until 8:00p.m. Thursday November 13 at the Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home in Manhattan.
Services will be held at 10:00a.m. Friday November 14 at the Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, with Pastor Kevin Larson officiating. Inurnment will follow in the Sunset Cemetery in Manhattan.
