Deanna & Girls...Just heard this news and wanted to send our sympathies to you and your family. Brad (my brother) and I grew up with Gene and Jeff. We moved away in early Jr. High, but our families remained friends. Again, Our deepest heartfelt sympathies to you and yours.

Deanna, Babs and I first met Gene at UCA. I had the privelege of playing intramural sports with Gene and getting to know him well. Since then he has remained a good friend of my family and had a lot of great times with my brother, Kevin. Gene left a lasting impression upon everyone he came in contact with. It was a blessing to Babs and I to have Gene touch our lives. We pray that the Lord will continually strengthen you and guide you and the girls. We pray that you can take comfort in your memories of Gene and the faith that Gene's soul is wrapped safely in God's grace.

Deanna Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family God Bless You

What a guy!!! The world has truly lost a good man. I have many fond memories of Gene, but his love for his family stands out the most. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during your loss. May God continue to bless and see you through these tough times.

Deanna, May God be with you and your girls. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Deanna, Take care of yourself Aunt Velma

The prayers and thoughts of many are with you. And I hope you can feel comfort in that. I've always been told that the sorrow we feel when someone leaves our lives is in direct proportion to the joy they brought while a part of our lives. May all the years of joy heal your sorrow. I will be forever grateful to Gene for all he did with the softball team and personally for Emma.

Gene was a wonderful person. He always had a smile on his face no matter what. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Deanna and Girls. I was so sorry to hear about Gene. I have some great memories of him, here at Pepsi (Little Rock) for quite some years. I will always remember him and his smile. Even after he left Pepsi. he always stayed in touch with us, and made sure we had a supply of Little Debbie products. Take care, put your faith in GOD and you and the girls will make it.

God bless you and the kids, Deanna. I was so sorry to hear the news. Lean on your faith.

Deanna and girls, We were so sorry to hear about Gene. He was such a wonderful person. We really enjoyed spending time with him and talking with him at the family reunions and gatherings throughout the years. We are so sorry we can't make it for the funeral, but know that you and Maylie and Maty are continually in our thoughts and prayers. We love you and hope to see you soon.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. Deanna...may God fold you and your girls and His loving arms of comfort and security.

Deanna and girls, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our hearts are saddened with the loss of Gene, he was a wonderful young man and will be missed by all who knew and loved him, as we did. He always called me Mom. He was our son Kevin's best friend and we considered him as part of our family.

Deanna and girls, I can't imagine the sorrow you must feel. Spending so much time at work with Gene at Pepsi allowed me the chance to really get to know him. I have been playing back images in my mind of events over the years. In every memory, I see his smile that could light up the room and remember how he could make us all feel better just by being silly. That was a gift to me. May Gene's love for his family comfort you and God be with you.

We have heard so many wonderful stories of your husband and daddy these last few days. He was truly a humble servant. May the God of all comfort, comfort you and surround you in the days to come and may you feel the strength of our prayers. Your family is very loved!

My family was lucky enough to spend time with Gene as he coached my daughter in softball. Gene has played and coached in hundreds of ball games, and he has now won the most important game of all. We will miss him and we will keep his girls in our prayers.

Gene will never be lonely where he is now in our Lords house, the ones of us who are still here will miss his love of God, family, and his friends. He was a great family man, a wonderful husband, a great Dad. He was a wonderful son to his Mom, who is my best friend, so that made him one of my favorite people, he never failed to give me a hug and tell me how much he loved me. Orvel and I will miss him. Our love and support to all his family, we love you Orvel and Barb Bise
