As an account manager for Holt Construction, these qualities helped to build and foster positive relationships with his colleagues and customers. Gene loved camping, golfing, fishing and racing. He was an avid Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Reds fan. He enjoyed his yearly fishing trips with friends and family, the Indy 500, Colts games, and weekend trips to French Lick.

He married the love of his life, Janet, on March 12, 1994, in Emison, Indiana. He was extremely proud of his 3 children and often shared their accomplishments. He excelled as a father, husband, brother, uncle, co-worker and friend. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Janet (Schultz) Yonts; son, Nicholas Yonts; daughters, Katelyn (Scott) Trafford, and Kristen Yonts; sisters, Cheri O'Day and Jodi (Alan) MacDonald; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family members.
