Eugene was born on November 30, 1932, in Buffalo County, in the Town of Canton. He was one of twelve children and grew up on the family farm, where he developed a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for family and rural life.
He attended school in the area and, following his education, worked locally before entering the United States Army. Eugene proudly served his country during the Korean War and was honorably discharged on September 15, 1955.
On November 15, 1955, Eugene was united in marriage to Beatrice Pittman at St. Henry’s Catholic Church in Eau Galle, Wisconsin. Together, they built a life centered on faith, hard work, and family, recently celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary.
Eugene and Beatrice were blessed with children: Craig (Julie) Falkner, Karen McIntyre (Brian), Kevin Falkner, Calvin (Sara) Falkner, Kurt (Lynnea) Falkner, Kay (Scott Nusberger), and Dan (Leslie) Falkner.

Eugene will be remembered as a hardworking and devoted family man who was never afraid to take on new challenges. He found joy in the simple things in life, especially time spent with his family. His strength, values, and legacy will live on in all who knew him.
