Gene was a United States Navy Veteran. After his time in the military, he moved to Chase City in 1961 where he eventually met the love of his life, Kitten Morrow. He retired from Virginia Homes in Boydton after 30 years of employment. He was a member of New Hope Baptist Church in Skipwith, but most recently, he was attending First Christian Church in Chase City. Gene was very musically inclined and an entertainer.
