Gene joined the Army National Guard when he was a junior in high school and graduated from Coolidge High School in 1963. He continued in the National Guard, resigning as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1970. On April 17, 1965, he was united in marriage to Marilyn Sue Laird, at the First Assembly of God Church in Holly. To this union two children were born, Curtis and Nicole.
