Nathaniel Cain

Travelers Rest - Nathaniel Eugene Cain , know to some as "Gene" and some as "Nat", transitioned to the next life on February 20th engulfed in love. Born in Birmingham, Alabama on November 26, 1939, he attended St. Bernard High School and St. Bernard College in Cullman, Alabama. He was a man of faith, loving husband and father, business owner, student of life, athlete and mentor to many. He lived by his convictions and instilled in everyone around him a perspective of living life with enthusiasm. His mark on the world can be noted by his constant giving to the less fortunate, his acceptance of the flaws in other people, and a loyalty to those close to him. In a changing world, he was able to find the balance between a solid foundation in core beliefs about God and about how people should treat each other in a loving and accepting manner. His legacy lives on through those he left behind: his wife Barbara Cain, three children Marianna Sullivan, John Cain, Beth Jackson, and nine grandchildren who strive to embody his character. He wants to be remembered for life and not death. Visitation will be at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 1 Pine Knoll Drive, Greenville, SC on Friday, February 24th from 6:00-8:00 pm where a funeral service will be held on Saturday, February 25th at 10 a.m. Burial will follow in Woodlawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Bernard Prep School, Attn: Father Marcus Voss, 1600 St Bernard Dr SE Cullman, AL 35055. An online register book is available for family & friends at www.woodlawn-fh.com

Gene Cain was my brother. We first met in 1953 at St. Bernard Boarding School and we have been close friends ever since. We bunked next to each other in the 120 bed dorm and were roommates later on. I also roomed with Gene during my first year of college at St. Bernard. Gene was a fun loving, funny guy. We shared a lot of experiences together growing up and laughed hard for the next 60 years just recalling so many fond memories. I never knew anyone who laughed so much. I love you brother, and will miss you. I created a little Gene Cain Holy Card for him.

Gene was a KOOK - Keeper of Odd Knowledge. A "society" reserved for very special people and we all know how special he was. Gene and I would be having a conversation and he would be so dang serious and I, being very gullible, would respond seriously to him. Then he would get that glint in his eye and burst out with that contagious laugh of his. I knew, once again, that I had been had. Loved that man! Rest In Peace Gene. I will miss our conversations and the love you so freely shared.
