Eugene Busch

December 30,1929 - September 12, 2019 Gene was born and raised with his brother and sister in Minneapolis, living there until he graduated from high school. His future plan was to trade in his city life for the cowboy life in the wilds of Montana until he could earn enough money to return to Minnesota and attend college. But he quickly found out that he loved the cowboy life and once he discovered the mountains, rivers and lakes there was no looking back. Gene started out working on a ranch on Blue Creek until he entered and completed his service for his country in the Korean War. Once he returned home, he met and later married his best friend, Kathryn Moriarity (Kitty). Together they raised 3 children, Kurt, Scott and Heather, and were married for 60 years until Kitty's passing earlier this year. Gene was a man of integrity and truly one-of-a-kind when it came to taking care of family. He was greatly respected and loved as a husband, father, grandpa and great grandpa. He was intelligent and witty, never turning down a crossword puzzle or chance to play a mean game of cribbage. Gene is survived by his son Kurt (married to Martha), his son Scott (married to Brenda) and his daughter, Heather (engaged to John Lewis), his 8 grandkids and 4 great grandkids. He will be greatly missed by everyone.
