Eugene Charles "Gene" Beard

Gene was an amazing person and I am grateful I was able to get to know him.

Gene and Eddie were such nice guys. We met on a cruise and land tour in Alaska a few years back. You are both missed. Sincerely, June and Eric, Jacksonville, FL.

Gene was such a kind, compassionate gentleman. We were blessed to have him as our neighbor for many years. It was always a delight to run into him around town after he & Eddie relocated. You will be missed by many, dear Gene.

Gene it's been almost 40 years. I miss you already. You were a kind and generous person. Sharing dinner with you and Eddie are memories I have to keep. I picture you now with Eddie and Lily and Andrew and your other fur babies. Love Di

Your sweet smile, compassion, and laughter will always be remembered. You and Eddie could always make me smile.

I was blessed enough to meet Gene through my husband. He was his UPS delivery driver. Gene was looking for a new groomer for ellie so he sent him to me. I fell in love with them both instantly! I was lucky enough to groom her for 4 years, so I got to know him pretty well. Well enough to know I loved this man! He will be greatly missed as will ellie. Good luck to you both on your next big adventure!

You may be gone, but you are never forgotten. Forever in my heart........

Gene you added such a richness to our lives. Since we first met while we were all holidaying in St Augustine we shared a strong connection. Our visits were something we always looked forward to. Your energy and creativeness were evident in every aspect of your life. Your kind and considerate mannerisms were constant companions. We will miss you and will forever hang on to all of our cherished memories! We love you now and forever!

I´m so grateful to have known Gene this last year at Cedarhurst. He had such a beautiful outlook on life, no matter how hard things were for him, and had a sense of humor and class like no other! He encouraged me and imparted such positivity through one of the most difficult times of my life- I´ll never forget it. I wish he could have met my sweet baby girl that finally made it into the world, it´ll be hard to walk back through those doors after maternity leave and not see him. Love you, Gene, see you one day!

Gene, I was never able to meet you, but did know you through John. You loved the candy I sent and wish circumstances were such that I could have delivered it to you. I knew of your talent and creativeness. With good memories, Johanna
