Gene "Joe" Bevel

Joe Proudly served in the Army for his country. After coming home from Germany, he married his forever sweetheart, Diana. He planted his feet down, never afraid of work. He was employed at Ashland Chemical until the doors were shut for good with a note attached reading “Closed Down.” Joe went on to work at Monsanto Chocolate Bayou until Exxon Refinery called him to come work for them, which he accepted and retired there as Chief Supervisor.

Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Joe, knew he was a very private, but loving and generous man with the best sense of humor. He was also the most honest man you would ever meet, if you were looking for a truth, he was your man.

We are truly heartbroken, but Joe Bevel, Husband, Father, Brother, Poppy, Friend and Hero will never be forgotten. He will live in our hearts until we meet again.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Diana; parents, Gene and Jean Bevel; sister, Ann Ulrich; and Joe’s father and mother-in-law, Charlie and Berneice Anderson. However, he threw the title of “in-laws” out the window because of the love they had for each other.

He is survived by his children, Gene “Joe” Bevel Jr., Gina Bevel Berry and family, Lauren Stephens and family, brother, Jimmy Bevel and great friends, Weckworth, Christina Moreno, and Jim and Robin Devore.

Pallbearers will be Dalton Berry, Austin Alanis, Drew Stephens, Jayneal “Jbird”, Miko Luna and Phillip Eaglin.

Visitation will take place 12:00pm-2:00pm Friday with services directly after at 2:00pm-3:00pm at Earthman Baytown Funeral Home and graveside immediately following at Cedar Crest Cemetery.
