He had many interests and talents and was very involved with his community. He was meticulous about everything he did. Due to his strong interest in horticulture, he was an avid gardener and involved with the Soil Conversation District. Gene served in the Army and was a candidate for ND house of Representatives. He sang with the Valley City Troubadours and worked as a volunteer with the Barnes County Museum. Gene enjoyed going to auctions and buying old furniture that he refinished. He enjoyed singing with his wife as she played the piano. He loved his cat BO who was his nap buddy.
Gene is survived by daughter, Corlee (Michael) Fink; son, Steven Diemert; brother, Robert Klein and many sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews from the Klein, Ford, and Diemert sides of the family.
Gene was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy; sons, Rob and Rick Diemert; brothers, Louis, Vernon, Cliff, Don, and Jim; and brothers-in-law, Ken and Don Ford.
For their tremendous and compassionate care of Gene, a special thank you goes out to nurses and staff at Sheyenne Care Center, his doctors, and Hospice Care.
In lieu flowers of flowers, the family prefers donations to be made to St. Catherine’s Church REACH (524 3rd Ave NE, Valley City, ND).
