Eugene was honorably discharged in 1980. In 1981, Eugene became a father with the birth of his first born LaTiece, then again in 1989 when his youngest son, Dante was born. He loved his family dearly; being the only son with 2 sisters, Eugene felt it was his duty to protect his family. As his family grew, so did his determination for being our protector and unending supporter. The importance of family was everything, which was shown not in his talk, but his walk. He would give you, “the shirt off his back”. Eugene loved to grill and was considered the, “Family’s Grill Master”; rain, snow, sleet or shine it was always a good time to grill. Eugene took his position as his family’s Patriarch seriously and would go above & beyond the call of duty to make sure that anything he could do to help, he would and continued to do up until his brief illness in January. Eugene had many travels in his life and in 2006, his paths lead him to Perryville, MD; where he recommitted and re-established his position in the “Army of the Lord”.
