Gene Land Obituary
Born on March 6, 1946, Gene proudly served four years in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. After his military service, he built a career in autobody repair and drove agricultural trucks in his later years.
Gene was a man of many passions. He found joy in skydiving, fishing, photography, and woodworking-often crafting items that reflected his creativity and skill. In his younger days, he also enjoyed country dancing. Known for his sense of humor and playful teasing, Gene had a generous spirit and was always willing to go the distance-literally-to help someone in need. Fiercely independent and famously stubborn, he embraced life on his own terms.
He is survived by his daughter Jody (Tom) Martin of Strasburg, Colorado; grandchildren Collin and Elizabeth of Strasburg; brother Don (Jeannette) Land of Kansas City; sister Cheryl (Joe) Fisher of North Platte; as well as numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents Cecil and Edith (Wolverton) Land of North Platte; siblings Kay (Corky) Smith of Ogallala, Sondra (Ed) Perrault of North Platte, and Dean (Vivienne) Land of Culbertson; and his first wife Janet (Bickett) Land of Westminster, Colorado.
In keeping with Gene's wishes, no formal services were held. A private family dinner was held to honor his memory.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
