Sorry for your loss!
Eugene served as a member of the Roanoke River Rails to Trails representing Brodnax for several years. His enthusiasm and Level headeness made the Tobacco Heritage Trail (THT) a wonderful gift to all of South Side Virginia. Thanks for your help Eugene!
Chris, I am so sorry to hear about Gene’s passing. He was always so pleasant when I used to see him at the gym. Always smiling. I treasure one of his wood carvings.
You have been a good son.
Friend of Louise

With Deepest Sympathy
Chris and Family, We are so sorry to hear of your Daddy’s and Grandaddy’s ( and our dear neighbor’s) passing. I know your hearts are grieving at this time of loss. Eugene was always so kind and always willing to extend a hand to help anyone in need. As long as his health allowed him, you would see him anytime riding his bicycle on the Tobacco Trail or through the streets of Brodnax. One thing he always had everytime you saw him was that wonderful, friendly smile. Know that you and your family are in our prayers. We pray God will bring you comfort and peace in your time of grieving.
