Eugene was a lifelong resident of Pass Christian and was a 1965 graduate of Pass Christian High School.  After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Reserves during the Vietnam War.  He was a retired contract worker at John C. Stennis Space Center and was the founder and CEO of Necaise and Company.

Eugene could always be found at the barn, in the field, or on a horse.  He enjoyed his time in the saddle, team penning, barrel racing, and trail riding.  He touched many lives through his life long love of horses.  Until we meet again Ralphy Boy!

The family would like to thank Notre Dame Hospice and Ochsner/Singing River ICU and Respiratory Therapy for their care.
