Eugene McLain Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Eugene McLain of Mattoon, Illinois, born in Greenup, Illinois, who passed away at the age of 100, on July 3, 2024. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Eugene McLain to show support.

As we bid Eugene farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Eugene is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Lawrence Allen and Flossie Mabel McLain (Stewart); his son Kenny McLain; and his stepsons, Larry Fox and Michael Brunson.

He is survived by: his wife Ruth McLain of Mattoon, IL; his son David McLain of Neoga, IL; and his stepchildren, Margaret Waggoner of Mattoon, IL and Glen Brunson (Bonnie) of Allenville, IL. He is also survived by thirteen grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren.

Memorial donations in his honor may be given to Odd Fellow Rebekah Home.
