Eugene William Echard

He was born in Washington D.C. on August 30, 1943 to Eugene Echard and Mary Etta (Lusky) Echard.

He was survived by his mother, Mary Echard of Largo, FL; sisters, Mary Louis Best and Paul Dell Simpkins of FL; daughters, Christine E. Gudikunst (Craig), Tracey M. Busto (Mike); his five grandkids, Kailyn L., Gabrielle L., Tony M., Alexandra R., Isabella D.; and his three great grandkids, Lucas E., Noah J., Ellie M.; and other special family.

Eugene was known for his love of cars, attending movies, playing and watching sports. Most of all his love for his dogs and cat. He grew up going to the beach in Ocean City, MD, which he passed on to his family. Never forgotten will be your love of Rock n Roll and singing. You were our hero and will be treasured in our hearts.

At his request there will be no services. We ask that you remember him when you were with him last. His wish was to be laid to rest privately by his children and close family at the beach where his heart was.
