Through his childhood years, Gene lived in several Oklahoma Communities and attended school at Douglas, Fairmont, Garber, and Carrier, graduating with the Carrier Class of 1970. On November 21, 1970, Gene was united in marriage to Jacqualine Reinhart. From this marriage two children were born. Gene was united in marriage to Lynni Rojean Kassik on September 6, 1998, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. From this union, another child was added whom he called son. Gene was an expert diesel mechanic all of his life. Over the years, he was employed by Sturgeon’s Corner, Long Equipment, Holderby Equipment, and P&K Equipment. Gene and Lynni opened their own independent diesel shop in Dacoma, Oklahoma, where they resided after marriage. In 2010, Gene, Lynni, and Koy began farming the K&K family farms together while continuing to operate Greb Diesel Shop. Some of Gene’s hobbies and loves included restoring vintage equipment, remodeling their home, adding to the yard, camping, fishing, deer hunting, football, working on the farm, raising bottle calves, and so much more. Gene also made himself available to assist Cinnamon Creek at most all times when needed. However, Gene’s true love was his family. He enjoyed attending his grandchildren’s events such as football, soccer, baseball, and spelling bees. He also truly loved and was known for playing jokes, teasing, pranking, pestering, and annoying family and friends. Many, many stories can be told. He touched so many lives throughout his life and work. Besides his parents, Gene was preceded in death by his beloved pet, Otis.
