Gene was born on January 13, 1933, in Concord, to the late Fanny Earnhardt Suther and Edgar L. Suther. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Martha Isenhour Suther, as well as his brothers, Rush Suther, Fred Suther, Ray Suther, Trim Suther, Robert Suther, and his sisters, Evelyn Shinn and Ruby Goodman.

In his professional life, Gene worked as a welder for Pneumafil Corporation for many years, displaying his skill and dedication in his chosen field. After retiring, Gene continued to use his welding skills in his shop, tinkering with different items and helping family and friends.

Gene leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion to his family. He is survived by his daughters, Joyce S. Suther and Nancy Thomason all of Concord, as well as his son, Ryan Suther and wife, Jennifer, of St. Louis, MO.
