Eugene Earl McLeod
Eugene Earl McLeod Gene, Geno, Clouds, Hoop, 62, passed away December 13, 2013 at home in Benton City, Washington after an extended battle with illness and cancer. Gene was born in Richland in 1951, raised and living most of his life in Benton City, his employment included pipefitter and operating engineer at Hanford, house painter, concrete layer, and building maintenance. The last 15 years Gene was disabled but he participated in raising our children and then some.
Respected member of the Flathead Tribe of Montana, Gene contributed to his heritage at Pow-Wows with traditional dance, jewelry making, beadwork, and creating dance outfits. He leaves many beloved family members and friends.
Sadly, his parents, Earl and Juanita McLeod and his brother, Kenneth, precede Gene in death.
Gene's best friend and wife of 37 years, Michelle; daughter, Angela Rose; son, Eugene Earl; and daughter from previous relationship, Shannon Noel survive him. His Brother Kenneth's wife, Lois, and children Teresa, David, Dennis, Denise, and Christine, mother-in law, Marry Douglas, and sisters-in law Debbie, Pam, Kim, and their families also survive Gene.
I went to school with him. Sorry for your loss.
When Gene crosses over Walker little Bear Ray and his father big Bear will be waiting for him they were long time friends. Tony and I Mary Ray send our love and prayers to the family.
I haven’t seen Gene in over 35 years. When I saw his obit. the first thing I remember was how his laugh would always make me laugh. He would laugh just to get me to laugh. His family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear McLeod Family:
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Death is something that pains us all, we never want to see our love ones go. I will like to send my condolence to the family and friends, as well as, to share a comforting scripture. It’s Rev 21:4- ” And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” May this scripture bring comfort to you all, for this is a loving promise from our heavenly Father, a promise that soon all suffering will end, especially death.
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Rest in Peace Geno…
