Gene was born on November 11, 1956 in Cedar Rapids, the son of Charles and Phyllis (Shea) Becker. He was a 1975 graduate of Norway High School. Following high school, he was a hardworking and loyal employee at Whirlpool Amana. Gene was looking forward to retiring on his 65th birthday.

Gene was a member of Parkview Church. He was an avid sports fan, especially the Cardinals, the Packers, Iowa City West baseball, and of course, the Hawkeyes. Most important to Gene was family. He spent many fun hours cheering alongside his family at sporting events.

Gene is survived by his mother, Phyllis Becker of Cedar Rapids; his siblings, Carol (Dave) Mundell of East Brunswick, NJ, Diane (Steve) Wiley of Lisle, IL, Kathy (Charlie) Stumpff of Iowa City, Jeff (Laurie) Becker of Marengo, Julie Smith of Cedar Rapids, Alan (Cheryl) Becker of Fairfax; nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews; and extended family. Gene was preceded in death by his father, Charles Becker.
