Monticello, AR Monday, February 26, 2024 Uncle Gene, my heart is so broken right now, you weren't just my uncle you were my father figure here in Arkansas while my dad had lived in Florida. But before you passed away I wasn't able to show you how much better of a person I am now, I passed 2 drug screens today, all on my own! I know you are proud but I would have loved to hear it come out of your mouth face to face. I love you Uncle Pants! You will be forever missed! Give my pops, Brianna, mamaw, and my sweet baby brother my love please, I know they are waiting on you to join them. Fly High!
