Pallbearers will be Jacob Shell, Chad Adkins, Mark Hileman and P.D. Hileman. The family is very appreciative of the kind gesture of flowers, but requests that in lieu of flowers that donations in memory of Gene be made to the Dillon Chapel United Methodist Church, 4421 16th Street Road, Huntington, WV 25701-9764. The family would also like to thank the Intermediate Care Staff, the MICU Staff, especially nurses Katie, Julie and Brandy, of St. Mary’s Medical Center, Dr. Donahue, Dr. Collins and Dr. Linsenmeyer for their valiant efforts to save Gene’s life, but it was time for him to rest and go home. Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville, is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day. Not to me only but to all them also that love his appearing. |
