Eugene (Gene) LaPoint passed away suddenly on 23 June 2026 at the Chisholm Trail Nursing Home in Lockhart, Texas. Gene was a devoted father, husband, and son who will be missed by so many. He was always quick to laugh and was a friend to everyone he met. He is survived by his children; Anthony, David, Reagan, Donna and Brad; as well as many grandchildren. He passed away comfortably and at peace with the world. His only request is that he be remembered as a true Texan who has finally rode off into the sunset of life to reunite with his loved ones on the great prairie of light in heaven. Happy trails Dad, we miss you.
He is buried at the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery-Yorktown.
