Gene Wayne Victory of Nampa, Idaho passed away peacefully at home on March 26, 2023 surrounded by his family.
Gene was born on February 17, 1948 in Syracuse, Kansas to Sherman and Anna Victory. He is survived by his children; Kimberly Carrier (Ric, Brian, Brandon, and Nicholas), Renée Maughan (Bret and Garrett), Amy Gardner (Christopher, Hailey, and Drake), Richard Victory (Devyn), seven great grand-children, six sisters, and a large extended family.
Dad enlisted in the United States Marine Corp in 1966 and served active duty in Vietnam until 1970. Dad was a proud Marine who served, sacrificed, and showed a deep love for his country. He never met anyone he considered a stranger, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was very quick witted, had a great sense of humor, and always kept us laughing. He enjoyed the outdoors and loved his horses and dogs. We will always remember him as a very humble, hard working man who loved his family and will be greatly missed.
We would like to thank the VA Medical Center and Keystone Hospice for the wonderful care and a special “Thank you” to Dr. Spiess for his personal and deep commitment to Dad.
Services will be held on May 5, 2023 at 11:00 AM at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, with an open house to follow.
