Raymond Eugene Pigott

Gene was a fourth generation Florida native and was proud to be a graduate of Fort Myers High School and the University of Florida. He was a talented and accomplished partner at Rivers and Pigott Architects. Many of his projects include Lakes Park, the Calusa Nature Center, Cape Coral Library, Broadway Church of God and many of the schools in the Lee County School District. He was a dedicated member at the Church of God. He was very close to his family and was a great family man and proud Poppy. He enjoyed fishing and playing softball with his brothers. He was a jokester who loved to laugh. He always had construction projects going on at home that often times didn’t get finished.

Gene was preceded in death by his parents, Wilson and Annie Pigott and his brothers, Troy and David Pigott.
