Eugene Adams Obituary


EUGENE T. ADAMS
April 17, 1923 ~ Oct. 2, 2013

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a ride!"
~ Hunter S. Thompson

Eugene T. Adams, 90, of Vancouver, WA, passed away Oct. 2, 2013. He was born April 17, 1923.
Eugene served in the Army during World War II and later built houses, raised dogs, trained and ran greyhounds, and was a fireman for the City of Vancouver for 24 years.
He enjoyed being an avid outdoors man, fast-pitch softball for the City of Vancouver, bowling, golf, hunting and fishing.
Eugene is survived by his sons, Wilbur (Kathy) and Samuel (Carley) Adams; daughters, Susan (Roger) Weber and Brenda (Greg) Adams; brothers, Bill, Wilbur and Lloyd Adams; sisters, Arleta and Eleanor; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and June Seacrest who spent many good years with him.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 44 years, Verl; daughter, Brenda; and grandson, Brian.
Viewing will be Tues., Oct. 8, 2013, 12:00 to 9:00 p.m. with a funeral service on Wed., Oct. 9, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.

So sorry to hear of Uncle Gene's passing. He was my stepmother, Eileen's, brother. I have very fond memories of the times I spent with him.

I am so deeply sorry to hear about Eugene's passing. I worked for a local medical clinic and helped take care of his feet. At every appointment, he would talk to me about golf. He even gave me a couple books on the sport. His family is in my thoughts and all of us in our office will miss him!
