In expressing our condolence...it was an honor to know your DAD. I knew him as a man with integrity. Please remember the following: Physically, life may be a slow but inevitable slipping down the slope that leads to death. But from the spiritual point of view life is climbing up the hill that leads to the presence of God.

Thank you so much for showing such enormous love and support for our family during this difficult time of loss. Dad was truly a monument of strength, a well loved, and respected man. He left us a legacy to uphold, exceptional Christian values to live by and the family unit to honor. Life is so precious. Don't take it for granted!!!! May God continue to shower you in His Amazing Grace. Blessings, Carmelia Maddox Vasser

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Society has truly lost a sense of heritage and tradition, something truly needed in today’s times. Not only did we lose Uncle Gene, we have all have lost a great leader. Our hearts not only go out to the immediate family, but also the Maddox brothers. All true leaders who pass on a brotherly love and bond as well as genes to secure a great future of all recipients.
