In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed in Gene's memory to Shawn Fults, 125 Circle Dr., Manchester, IA 52057. Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton is handling the arrangements.
Gene was born April 30, 1962, in Newton, Iowa. He was a talented sportsman and enjoyed baseball, softball, football and stock car racing. He worked at Goodwill in Cedar Rapids and was an admired employee and pitcher for the company softball team. He was especially proud to be a new grandpa, recently welcoming his first grandbaby and announcing to anyone who was within earshot, "I'm a Grandpa!"

He was preceded in death by his parents, Barbara Bobbie (Dammeier) and Jed Miller and Hughey and Donna (Lathrop) Fults; and a sister, Shelley (Lathrop) McCracken.
Gene will be remembered for his gentle and loving nature, friendly smile, kind heart and his sense of humor. He was greatly loved by all and will be dearly missed.
