His Legacy… Eugene “Gene” Richard Dziadon, 90, passed away June 8, 2025.  He was born on September 7, 1934, in Detroit, Michigan to Michael Dziadon and Josephine (Cieszlakowski) Dziadon. Gene married Rosemarie Sterlitz, on July 21, 2001, in Brighton, Michigan. He was a proud and devoted Catholic. As a longtime member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church, he helped start their council of Knights of Columbus. For 42 years, he dedicated his talent and determination to Chrysler Corp. as an engineer in the space program designing Apollo rockets and spaceships. He helped mankind reach for the stars- a feat few can claim to be a part of. Gene travelled all around the world, enjoying his visits to Egypt, Japan, Vietnam, Poland, and beyond. Gene had a zest for life that was evident in his love of cars, particularly his Challenger, playing golf, tennis, Euchre, Poker, listening to music, grilling, and in his gift for gab.
