Eugene Hulgan Obituary
Beaner took his final lap around the track, leaving behind a community of family and friends who loved him deeply and are heartbroken by his passing. Those who knew Beaner knew that his greatest joy came from time spent with his family, his friends, and at the racetrack. Racing was more than a passion-it was a way of life-and many of his happiest memories were made trackside, surrounded by the people he loved most.
Above all else, Beaner was an amazing partner, a devoted dad, and a proud grandpa. He had a generous heart, a loyal spirit, and a presence that made people feel welcome wherever he went. His laughter, stories, and love for life will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving life partner of 23 years, Judy Little; his daughter, Casey (Kirk) Sly; his stepdaughter, Nicole (Justin) Williams; his stepson, Robert (Melissa) Little; and his eight wonderful and loving grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and joy.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Doris Hulgan, and his brother, Ted Hulgan.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Elks Lodge, 5420 NE 12th Ave., Pleasant Hill, Iowa 50327.
In honor of Beaner and his love for racing, guests are encouraged to wear their favorite racing attire.
