Eugene Yurman

Yurman, was born, raised and remained a life-long resident of Park Slope,

Brooklyn, NY. Eugene graduated with a degree in Education and was an

elementary school teacher prior to undergoing a career change into the field of

pharmaceutical technology. He was a graduate of Xaverian High School’s Class

of 1983 and St. Saviour Elementary School’s Class of 1979. Eugene quietly

departed this life on Saturday, April 11, 2020, after a brief battle with the

treacherous COVID-19 virus.

He is survived by his three siblings and their spouses: Roxanne and John

Davenport of Meriden, CT, Robert and Carol Anne of Staten Island, and Richard

and Michele of Bethpage, NY. He leaves behind his beloved nephews and niece:

William Davenport (Lauren), Christine Davenport, Michael and Eric Yurman,

along with many extended family members throughout the country. Most

recently, Eugene was promoted to Great-Uncle with the addition of Madison

Davenport.

Eugene was a member of St. Saviour Parish and was an avid sport enthusiast.

He enjoyed playing ice hockey, umpiring baseball games, and jogging the

beautiful trails of his beloved Prospect Park. He was a die-hard fan of the New

York Rangers and New York Mets. He had a deep-routed passion to preserve

connections with so many individuals that crossed his path during his lifetime.

A life that was ended abruptly and much too prematurely, he will be deeply

missed by his friends, family and all who knew him. Due to the dire

circumstances present in the world today, burial will be private. A celebration

of his life will be scheduled at some time in the future when we can gather

together in safer times, commemorate his life, and visit and chat as he would

have loved to do.
