Gene Rhys Rhodes, 52, of Albuquerque, NM and Las Cruces, NM died on August 1, 2009. Gene was born in Albuquerque, NM on August 10, 1956. He graduated from Highland High School and received a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of New Mexico. Gene was well known for his brilliant mechanical mind and his gift for being able to fix almost anything. He had a particular passion for Alfa Romeo automobiles. He owned many Alfas during his life and spent countless hours restoring them to the point that he was an expert in all aspects of this brand of automobile. Gene also enjoyed camping and had an especially fond appreciation of the Washington and Oregon coast areas of the U.S. Gene loved animals, particularly dogs and had recently adopted a Pomeranian Chihuahua named Chica who became his constant companion. Gene owned his own printing service and supply business for many years in Albuquerque. Over the past few years Gene lived in Las Cruces and worked with his brother at a billiards store. Gene is survived by his mother, Margaret; brother, Kerry; sister, Cheri; and countless other family and friends. He will be extraordinarily missed. There will be a gathering of friends on Friday, August 7, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. in Sister Cities Park located at the intersection of Harper and McKinney, NE, in Albuquerque.
