Gene was born February 14, 1933 in Flint, Michigan, the son of Nils and Jessie (Kell) Lindstrom. He graduated from Flint Northern High School in 1951 and proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1956 as an aircraft mechanic. On May 15, 1954, he married Marciel Evelyn Frost in Flint. The couple made their home in Mobile, Alabama where Gene was stationed. Following his discharge they returned to Flint, later moving to Swartz Creek, Michigan.
Gene worked in the payroll office at GM Parts Division in Swartz Creek until retirement. He was a member of Maranatha Baptist Church in Flint. Following retirement, Gene and Marciel made their cottage at Hubbard Lake, Michigan their permanent residence. While there, they were members of Calvary Baptist Church in Mikado, Michigan and served in Gideons International. The couple returned to Swartz Creek in 2014.
Gene was a devoted husband, a caring father, and a good friend who was known for his courtesy, honesty and generosity. At Hubbard Lake and elsewhere, with family and his many friends, he enjoyed many recreational activities including motorcycling, biking, running, skating, skiing, fishing and boating. Also, he was a passionate fan of Michigan football and basketball. Go Blue!
