It is with great sadness the family of Gene Shreve announces his passing on February 28, 2024 at his home with family by his side.

Gene’s greatest loves were camping, fishing, family and his wife Pearl.

Gene was born in Sheridan, Wyoming on September 1, 1941, the eldest child of Gene Sr. and Lucile Shreve.

Gene joined the United States Army in 1960 and served his country honorably through 1963. After leaving the service, Gene moved to Reno, NV where he met and married the love of his life Pearl Ashby Shreve.

Technically raising their family in Sparks, NV, Pearl and Gene were always on the move. They took their kids on countless camping trips from the Grand Canyon to Mount Rushmore.

Gene worked at Nevada Bell Telephone until retirement. After retirement Gene and Pearl took a year long “bucket list” trip throughout the United States with their life long friends. They enjoyed many cruises and trips to Mexico. Gene continued to share his love for the outdoors, taking his grandkids camping in Portola and boating and fishing at Frenchman’s.

Pearl and Gene subsequently spent their winters in Yuma, Arizona enjoying the sunshine and summers in Soldotna, Alaska fishing and enjoying the great outdoors.

Gene is survived by his wife Pearl, his four children Angela, Teresa, Shawnna and Steven, eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

He will be sorely missed by his family and many friends.

He has requested no service be held. You may honor him in the memory of fond moments and maybe a camping trip this summer!
