He was born in Cannelton, West Virginia, one of thirteen children to Ernest and Mary Belle (Belcher) Yeary. Eugene grew up on the family farm, and later moved to Portage County. He met his beloved Linda (McBride) and they were married on October 21, 1967.

Eugene was a member of Moose Lodge 1234. He loved bowling in his spare time, and also enjoyed baseball. Gene volunteered as a coach and umpire for many years. He enjoyed watching Westerns and never turned down a cup of coffee.

Eugene was a hard worker and always provided for his family. Words cannot express how much he will be missed by his friends and family.
