He was united in Holy Matrimony to his loving wife Doretha Vernetta Deas at Eastern Community Church in Washington, DC on April 14, 1984, who he lovingly cherished. Eugene attended the public schools in Rembert, SC. He was self employed with his own Landscaping Company (Metro Landscaping) for over 50 years serving the DC, MD and VA areas. Gene, affectionally known by family and close friends was a fun-loving, meek and humble man. He loved a good sermon and listening to the Word of God during Bible Study. He loved to Barbeque chicken, turkey legs, ribs and pork on his BBQ pit on the weekends. Gene would always make his special (secret) BBQ sauce to keep you coming back for more. He had a smile and laugh that would keep you happy no matter what, while talking to you endlessly. Gene will be deeply missed. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Edwin A.
