**Celebrating the Life of Eugene Overson**

Eugene Overson, a remarkable man with a heart of gold, left an indelible mark on the communities he served. A dedicated TV repairman, Eugene was known for his expertise and willingness to go the extra mile, visiting homes throughout the area to ensure televisions were always in perfect working order.

Eugene's passion didn't stop at TV repairs. As a licensed pilot, he often took to the skies from the Desert Center Airport, offering breathtaking views of the Lake Tamarisk area. One of my fondest memories is flying over our home with him, seeing my mom waving from the yard below, and even getting a chance to steer the plane.

Eugene's entrepreneurial spirit was evident in the many ventures he undertook. He owned vending machines stocked with soda, candy, and cigarettes, bringing small joys to the community. He also managed the laundromat at Lake Tamarisk Resort, ensuring residents and visitors always had a place to clean their clothes.

When Eagle Mountain Kaiser Steel closed, Eugene saw an opportunity to support the community. He purchased the gas station and converted it into a laundry facility for the prison personnel. Additionally, he owned rental properties in Lake Tamarisk, providing homes for many families.

From 1971 to 1982, Eugene worked at Eagle Mountain Kaiser Steel, where his dedication and hard work were well respected. His legacy is one of service, innovation, and unwavering commitment to his community.

In 1986, when I was promoted at a well-known car rental company, Eugene's support was unwavering. He rented an apartment and started the West Covina location while I managed the Industry Hills location. We would run cars back and forth between locations to meet our customers' needs. Eugene did such a great job and was so beloved by our customers that after two years, he decided it was time to retire. He missed my mom and wanted to spend more time with her, playing golf and enjoying life in Lake Tamarisk. He even introduced me to Angela Lucas, the granddaughter of his friend, who would help me run the locations. Angela's support was invaluable, and she continued to run the agencies after I left.

Eugene Overson was not just a skilled professional and entrepreneur but also a loving father who shared his passions with his family. His contributions will always be remembered and cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
