Edwin Starbuck Obituary

Gene (Gno) Starbuck graduated in 1976 from Del Norte high school in Albuquerque N.M. He was a hard working man who made his career as a roughneck in the oil and Gas industry, while building houses on the side. He enjoyed time with family and friends, he also liked to golf. He was a creative man with an artistic eye who found joy in expressing himself through carpentry work and photography. After a five year battle with cancer he lost his life at the age of 65. Gno was two months shy of being a 16 percenter as he would say. His humor and persistence will be missed by his family and friends.

Mr. Starbuck is preceded in death by his father Lester Starbuck. Survivors include his Mother Hazel Starbuck,His wife Deanna Starbuck, sister Beth, brother Tom,his children Jessica Starbuck, John Starbuck and Jasmine Starbuck. His stepdaughters, Mindi Kondrat and Melanie Secor. 12 grandchildren, one great grandson, several nieces and nephews.
