Eugene Earl Callahan

He attended East High School in Pueblo Colorado, and graduated in 1964. It was also in Pueblo where Gene married his life-long sweetheart Helen on July 3, 1970. He served two tours as a Marine during the Vietnam War.

Gene loved his family with all of his heart. He loved shopping Amazon, reading books and searching for laughs online. He was able to read a book and build tables, boxes, and even a computer. He enjoyed photography and learning how to take and develop his own pictures. He was a man of few words, but when he loved you, he loved you! A special thank you to Marisa Herrera, Kent, Melisa, Pat, Max and the Suncrest Hospice Staff!

Gene is preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Helen Callahan (Thullen); and siblings, John and Ethal.

He is survived by his daughter Jody (Ricky) Leal; Son, Earl (Darcee) Callahan; Grandchildren, Seth Leal, Kyle Leal, Elizabeth Leal, Rece Leal, Jonathon Callahan, Mckenzie Callahan, and Brooklyn Smith; great grandson, Camryn Leal "little tornado"; and his four-legged companions, Bell, Yappie, and Sally.

Services for Gene will be held at Imperial Funeral home Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 2:00pm.
