Gene William Carleton, 91, of Dallas passed away on December 13, 2023 peacefully in his home alongside his wife, Susan.
Gene was born on September 20, 1932, in Dallas. He lived in the Dallas area for his long and joyous life. Following high school, he served in the Navy for four years. Then he went on to graduate with a Master’s in Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University.

Teaching his students brought him so much light for 20 years.
