He was preceded in death by 3 brothers, Leon, Jr., (killed in Korea), Felix and Hollis. He is also preceded in death by 2 sisters, Ida Mae McDowell and Ola Goldsby. Eugene is also preceded in death by his son, Eugene Irving, Jr. Eugene leaves to mourn his devoted wife, Sylvia Hingle Irving (she was Suzie to him). He also leaves a very special friend, Leo Severan. Eugene is survived by cousins, grandchildren nieces, nephews and friends. Always a hard worker, Eugene served in the Army and was honorably discharged. His occupation then was that of a cement mason and taxi driver. Eugene was a proud man who always wanted his work to be perfect. He loved God and prayed daily for everyone - including family, church members and friends. Above all, he loved and adored his wife and wanted nothing but the best for her. Eugene will be severely missed but earth's loss is God's treasure. We ask you to picture him at heaven's gate, standing next to God smiling. Services will be held Saturday, November 2, 2019 at First True Love World Outreach Ministries, 41239 S.
