Gene Carson – November 21, 2018


I have just received word from JoAnn Carson that Gene Carson has died.

From JoAnn Carson –
“Wanted you to know that Gene died on Wednesday, 11/21. He had been in hospital more than a month and tried hard to beat it but was just so tired. Gene always loved coming to Waco for the lunches to see old friends. He will be buried at DFW National Cemetery in about 2 to 3 weeks. I will let you know when I get the final word. Thanks for being such a good friend to Gene.”

UPDATE:
Eugene “Gene” Carson passed away Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2018, in Arlington, Texas, at the age of 78.

  1. Such a great guy and friend. I have prayed daily for Gene. This is so hard to take. I am going to bed with a heavy heart but know this life is short but eternal life is beautiful.

  2. I am so very sad to hear of Gene’s passing. Gene was always at any reunion, luncheon, party, or get-together that he was able to attend and always had a smile on his face and a hug for you. He loved our classmates just as we loved him. His sweet and happy attitude will be missed so much. Why does life sometimes have to be so sad?

  3. What a precious fun-lovin’ guy, Gene was!!! I so missed him at reunion and the last luncheon. He was a fabulous “personality” in our class! Life of the party! We have lost a class treasure!!
