Edman Eugene “Gene” Ward, age 85, of Farmington, went to be with his Savior on February 21, 2019. Gene was a skilled finish and trim carpenter for over 55 years, and he built beautiful cabinets and spiral staircases in many Northw Read Obituary
Gene was a great master carpenter, I work with Gene many years ago at Heckathorn const. And help load and set many cabinets and furniture he built from scratch. I always enjoyed his stories and he was an inspiration to me with what a man following after God is like always seeing Jesus in him and what he did. Great men are getting rare these days but I know in heaven he’s right at home.

Dad—We love you and will miss you every day. You were an old-fashioned dad in the best sense. You worked hard every day to support us, ate dinner with us every night (and said grace first), took us to church three times a week (plus revivals and gospel singings), and went to my piano recitals and Saturday basketball games at the Boys Club. You were a practical man, but never told me it was ridiculous to go to Germany in the 11th grade, Australia in the 12th grade, and then to become a German and Political Science major. Whatever I wanted to do, you and mom provided unwavering support. What a blessing from the Lord to have Gene and Betty Ward for parents! I know you are singing in the heavenly choir today with your beautiful bass voice. Before long, we will sit down by the river in the city that was built four square. Love you—Linda
Dad—Thank you for being such an unchanging rock of stability for our family in an ever-changing world. Your love and support for us was always present and never wavered. Thank you also for raising us in church and telling us about Jesus. What a blessing you were! We will miss you, but will see you again. Love—Jeannie
Betty and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Gene. I have known him all of our life, sang gospel songs with him . He was a great bass singer, a good friend & Bro in Christ. I won’t be able to attend the service. I will be praying for you.
Betty and Family;
Mom and I are so sorry to hear of Gene's passing. I have many fond memories of visiting your house with Aunt Thelma as she would bring myself and Rick along to visit as well. Gene was a kind, wonderful and gifted man. Our hearts and prayers are with you and I hope you are comforted in knowing that he's now with God and singing with the angels in heaven.
Love,
Kathy Rose Mastalez and Sally Rose
