Eugene B. “Gene” Hahn

Eugene B. “Gene” Hahn, 75, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 with his loving family at his side. He was born in Mesilla, NM on November 2, 1938 to Henry Julius and Ruth Estell (Hall) Hahn.

Gene was a resident of Magdalena, NM for about the last six years. He and his wife Sue met in Tucson, AZ and then happily started their family in Norwalk, CA. Gene had many jobs, but his greatest accomplishment during the twelve years in California, was that he was a Boy Scout Master and Leader, he enjoyed that so and was very proud of that. Gene, Sue and the Boys then moved to Enumclaw, Washington. This became home and where the family started, owned, and operated their Heavy Duty Truck and RV Repair shop for thirty years. He was a proud masonic and shriner member.

Fishing was always, Gene’s passion and at retirement he and Sue boarded their boat “Simpatico” and traveled all the National Parks and the inside passage to Alaska. Gene was a devoted family man, and his family meant the world to him. He was genuine in his faith with the Lord.

Gene will be greatly missed by all that knew him. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents.

Gene is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Susan M. (Sizemore) Hahn; his devoted sons, Mark and wife, Karen; Scott; and Jim and wife, Laura; his loving sister, Darlene Snyder and husband, Leon; nephews, Wes and wife, Juanita; and Les and wife, Mary; and many close fishing buddies. Gene, especially enjoyed his five grandchildren, Courtney (Sonny); Nick; Nicole (Shane); Jayson (Tara); and John. He found great joy in May, when he met his great grandson, Greyson and he will be in spirit when great grandbaby Ava arrives.

A Celebration of life was held on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at 1:00 pm at the Magdalena Community Church with Pastor Jeff Finch officiating.
