This memorial was created by Myriam on 1 Feb 2009(update)

Gene was born on the fourth of July in 1947, and had the pleasure of walking with the Lord for the last 40 years. He started his ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ and Church Resource Ministries before starting Revitalizing Churches in 1989. Gene dedicated his life to sharing the love of Christ with those around him. Before calling him home, the Lord gave Gene a remarkable opportunity to use his last five weeks to impact and change people’s lives as never before. His was a life well-lived and how sweet it must have been for him to hear Jesus say those words – “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. Gene was a dedicated husband, father, uncle and brother and will be dearly missed.
