Eugene Gaston Cannon

He was the loving son of Gaston E. and Ollie M. (Terrell) Cannon. Born in Bronx, NY, on April 23, 1966, he was the second child of Gaston and Ollie.

At a very young age, the family moved to Robesonia. As a child, he attended Trinity Lutheran Church and Grade School in Robesonia. For his Secondary Education, he attended and graduated from South Kent Boarding School in South Kent, Ct., and later, a graduate of New York University with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science.

After graduating from NYU, Gene obtained all Security Licenses which entitled the holder to register as a limited representative and sell Mutual Funds, Annuities and Insurance Products.

Gene worked as a Financial Adviser for several Investment Firms that were acquired by Citibank giving him several years of service there; he then transitioned over to JP Morgan Chase.

Gene always stayed busy and active in the community. He attended Madison Ave. Baptist Church, where he served as a night watchman during the winter months. During this time, he was responsible for caring for the homeless to ensure they had a warm and safe place to sleep.

Left behind to cherish his memory are his parents, Gaston and Ollie Cannon of Wyomissing; brother, Larry B. Cannon and his wife, Terri, of Reading; four uncles: York Terrell Jr. and his wife, Nancy; MacArthur Terrell and his wife, DeLois; Doc Cannon and his wife, Barbara; and James Cannon; an aunt, Vernell Cannon; three nephews: Desious, Tristan and Enoch Cannon; three nieces, Ivana, Tavia and Illana Cannon; three grand-nephews and two grand-nieces.
