Eugene was a fighter. He fought because giving up wasn't an option for him. He strived to be the best dad to the greatest love of his life, his son Eli. Even though he faced adversity he enjoyed cooking, hunting, fishing, with his best friend Eli. One of the greatest testimonies he could leave is he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Our Loss is Heaven's Gain. So we rejoice that we will see you again. 2 Timothy 4:7
