He was an avid outdoorsman and volunteered his time to the Teller County Search and Rescue for years after settling in Colorado. Gene retired as a Project Manager for HP in 2018.

Gene will be lovingly remembered by his children: Christina Moan (Theo) and Jason Moan (Ashley); beloved grandchildren: Alexis, Tessa, Sofia, Juliette, and Scarlett and; siblings: Debbie Graham (Jeff), Donna DeVita (Frank), Scott Moan (LeAnn), and Patty Amico (Steve); as well as numerous family members, nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends.

Gene was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend who will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. While he was a man of few words, his supportive presence proved foundational to those around him as he observed all with a quiet smile.

Gene was cremated, per his final wishes. No service is planned, but a Celebration of Life party for him and Kathy will be scheduled at a future date.
