He was an Air Force Veteran who served during the Korean War.

Eugene was lucky enough to retire at the age of 55 from Lowland Enka and was a lifelong farmer who grew tobacco all his life and never missed a season of farming, while managing various businesses such as flower shops in White Pine and Russellville and a video store as well. He was at his happiest riding his tractor, feeding cattle, and baling hay in his long sleeves, under the hot sun and finished his day with a full glass of iced tea. He raised a wonderful family and was very proud of his granddaughters, showing their pictures from his wallet to every person he me and said: “MY PRIDE AND JOY.” Eugene had been battling with Alzheimer’s for a long time now and the disease finally led to his passing. He was under UT Hospice care since May of 2020 with Charles Allen as his nurse who showed so much compassion and concern for him and his family. Special Thanks to Pam Jinks, His social worker who made his life comfortable and Dee his bath lady for the patience and love.
