I can't even say I'm ok because I know it will be a lie. It hurt to know you are gone and I can't call you to say when we going to McDonald's for ice cream no more butter chicken😂😂 but I know that you are in a better place playing around flying over use and looking down on use even tho your gone in reality your still in my heart, the word can't explain how much I love you and miss you and I made this on Dec16, 2019 which is your birthday and I just want to say happy birthday grandpa I love you to the moon and never back because my lobe for you is infinity. And once again happy birthday grandpa. long live and solider🕊😭💋💔

To my Uncle Grandpa, I love you, thank you for showing me right from wrong, being there to pray with me through my troubled times. You were a great man of God and a man of Love. I'm so happy that God put you in my life as my uncle and my pastor to love and to teach me. I'm gonna miss your random jokes and that good pot of smothered chicken lol❤  You will forever be with me no matter where I go. I love you Uncle Grandpa❤🕊

I met Edward Eugene Overstreet back in the 1980s. When he met My twin sister Brenda and married her. Not knowing that later on he will become my pastor as well . He was not just my brother-in-law, but he became my big brother. He was always there regardless. Always being a protector for each and every one of us.  You were always a phone call away.. Gene was always making you laugh,  even when you were sad or even mad he would always find a a way to makes you laugh and had you to look at the circumstances in a different light.
 He had such a passion for God always caring for the Lost and especially the homeless. He had this saying in our church, THAT THERE WERE NO BIG  I's and NO LITTLE U's .  Which  meant   no  one were   better than the other. And we will all equal in God's eyes. always taught us not to look down on others. Even though  he took God's words very serious when he would bring his sermon on Sunday morning he would always find a way to make us laugh while teaching us God's word. LOL!!😂. 
I'm going to miss the Sunday afternoon ice cream shop outting ,where he  would always order the same thing. butter pecan ice cream. Which you called (THE OLE FOLK  ICE CREAM)😂😂 and Sunday dinner's  after  church at the Holiday House. Which you called the CUTTERY   ( I can still hear him  saying in his deep voice hey Thing "em" you want to go to the Cuttery for dinner?)... Thing "em " was the nickname that he gave me., he always had a funny nickname for everyone.😂😭 WOW!! So many wonderful memories to cherish.  I will miss him, but I take comfort in knowing  that you will always be there as a guardian angel watching over  us, along with your mom Maxine and my mom Emmaline ..., I must say heaven has truly  gained someone special and  I'm sure that Sunday morning when you left us. you met the Lord  and savior face to face and he welcome you with open arms. Saying well done thy great and faithful servant. Well done.
        You will remain forever in our hearts Rev

Grandpa it breaks my heart knowing I won’t be able to see you but I will always and forever remember all the time we shared together all the laughs  and smiles we shared  the ice cream we ate and McDonald’s you will forever be in my heart 

My family and I met Rev when he and his family became our neighbors in 2002. From that time until now our families bonded. We have so many wonderful memories of Rev, some that will make you laugh and some that will make you cry. Rev was very near and dear to my family and he will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are and will always be with the Overstreet Family, our extended family.  Rev we Love You, May you Rest in Heaven. 🙏🏽 Robin, Steven, Kiara, Richard Jr. and Jazzy.

Uncle eugene was the greatest uncle you can imagine. Uncle eugene was always laughing never had a sad face, he was just full of joy. He came down on earth to do what God ask him what to do and then God took him home. Love you uncle eugene❤

As I reminisce over the past five years, as my pastor you encouraged me to step out into leadership and exercise the gifts and talents that God has ordained in me. It has been my pleasure to serve as the church secretary and on the board of directors. I will never lose sight of your kindness and generosity to the Ferguson family during our moments of bereavement. You have been a soldier in God's army but now it's time to get your reward. Rest on Pastor.

In memory of my Pastor, my brother and my friend...
I am grateful that God sent me to serve, follow and protect the interest of his kingdom under your direction.  We grew gracefully together, standing shoulder to shoulder. We were committed to reaching the lost and strengthening the redeemed so that God might be glorified and our labor would not be in vain.  I will continue to fight the good fight of faith while pressing towards the mark for the prize of the high calling  of God in Christ. You will be greatly missed, Pastor E. Eugene Overstreet, but our loss is heaven's gain!!! God Bless,  my Pastor, my brother and my friend... 

I met Rev back in 2002 when I worked at BankAtlantic.  He and Revered Anderson would come in to cash checks from Mt. Zion on Sunday afternoons.  He always was friendly, had a smile and always said something to make me laugh. Little did I know years later that he and my future husband were God Brothers and that I would actually get proposed to at his house, that he would provide my marriage counseling, marry me, christen all three of my children and be there for me and my family for anything.  Through the years I came to respect Rev and consider him like a second father. I appreciated that Rev allowed me to speak freely to him about anything and I appreciated the wise council he provided. He was one of the most selfless people I’ve ever met and would sacrifice his time to help others. I will always remember the day he came to my job and picked up all my baby shower gifts because Todd wasn’t able to and the time he stood in for TJ when it was Dad Bring Your Child To School Day.  I have no regrets and told Rev how I felt about him before he died. I will cherish the times that God allowed us all to spend together. He will never be forgotten and will go down in history as a legend, pillar in the community, great role model, wonderful Pastor, and a friend.  Until we meet again!

I remember coming to your parents house for a picnic they were so sweet and welcoming I had a good time . I met you thru Lessye. You always had a smile on your face. RIP Pastor Overstreet, praying that the Lord will wrap his Loving Arms around your FAMILY.


 😢
Every since I can remember You always went out of your way to teach and install in us who god is.
I remember nights in watermark apartments having bible study not really understanding the importance of what you were teaching us,but I Do Now You always challenged us to be different than others and to create our own lane and kept us laughing all at the same time. You always went out of your way for people giving back even if it was your last, You always treated people like Family even ones You didn't know.  Im proud to know and say that I was lucky to have a Uncle like You 😢😢There will never be another person like you Uncle I just wish that there were more people like you Uncle Gene your LEGACY will not be forgotten it will live on through us.
I just wish that I could hear you say "Brenda We Gotta Go"😁 One more time..
Rest In Paradise Uncle Gene I Love You 🌷⚘🌹🌷🌷🙏🏾

Uncle Gene was an extraordinary man. There are many in the community who will deeply mourn his passing as his was a life of service, love, compassion and excellence. May he rest in peace. I will always remember him as a loving and caring Man of God who always had a smile to help brighten your day. He was truly a gem and always a pleasure to be around. I will remember him for his zest for life, smile, and kindness. Everyone who met him knows his kindness and that special glowing smile which was contagious with anyone he came in contact with. Uncle Gene’s up beat personality will always be remembered. I have many fond memories of his effervescent personality and know he will be greatly missed. To the family: You have our sympathy for your loss. We are saddened to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful person and we will always remember him fondly. He will be greatly missed. ~ XO, Nikki

I don't know where to start. You have been more than a Pastor. For me you were one of my dearest friends, uncle to my kids and grandkids and my brother. I just can not believe you are gone. You will never be forgotten. You will always be in my heart. You helped me so much. No one can take your place.  When I was at my lowest point in life. When I wanted to die. Nobody knew that I wanted to kill myself but God. And out of nowhere, a knock was at my door. It was you, Gene. Never judged me. Never asked why. Never came in the house. Just stood at the door. And asked me if I was alright. God used you to save me and A'Miraca's life until she was born. I got the keys you gave me. The keys to the kingdom of heaven. SHIP. Until we meet again. Whisper a prayer in the Ear of Jesus Christ for me. ❤❤❤

Pop was @ work.  Myself , my cousin, & a few childhood friends decided to have a foot race. Here comes Uncle Tam & Beanie. 
So!!! Locked up in a foot race, WONDER BOY (Juano) leans inside the Pinto!! Well Unc & Beanie  started raising sand. Too fast to keep up, but too slow to let go. RED is in the delivery room @ St. Mary's with J Man
Now I'm laid up needing a skin graph. 
The only thing POP had to say was....get yo thumb out 'cho' mouth. The only thing I heard was "put yo' big boy pants on.
                         Let's get it brothers 



I will always remember  in my youth, when you taught our youth sunday bible school. You made the lessons relevant to us and our experiences. The  care and commitment to your family and those in the community that came to depend on you, I've always admired.  Gene you welcomed every one with open arms and the biggest smile. Your departure is a hard hit Rev. and you will forever be missed.
 Untill we all meet again, Well done thy Good and Faithful Servant, Well Done.

With deepest sympathy to you Brenda and  family during this most difficult  time. May God continue to comfort amd keep you.

I'm going to miss Eugene (1956 Diesel). He was my friend and fellow workman in the Gospel of Christ.  God bless his wife Brenda and his family. Sleep on Reverend and take your rest. I know you will hear these words. "Well done".

I am so grateful for the time God gave me with you Gene. I have so many memories to cherish.  Every time I called on you even if it something simple, you never failed to come. My heart cry every day for you but the tears fail to roll down my cheeks. It's a hard road ahead but I know that God will strengthen me.  Ride on brother you're with King Jesus now.❤💕💓💞

I can vividly remember one of the conversations we had. And he told me as long as I keep God first I could achieve anything I set out to do. And that stays with me till this day. I will never forget that. To the wife, children, grandchildren, siblings I love y’all. 

Uncle Gene!! Words can not express how heavy my heart is. I want to Thank You for the opportunity to share with the Golden Gate whom I know will be in the Precious Hands of the Savior ! You took me in and I became family. Many times we’ve talked either in your living room out in the yard or at the church you always welcomed me with a warm smile and embrace. I will cherish those moments forever. And I know one day I’ll see you in the other side! 

Rest Well Thy Good and Faithful Soldier
Your Friend Son and Nephew 
Rev DJ Talton 

To my Mr. Gene,
Ever since I moved to West Palm Beach you and Brenda took me in like I was family.  You were always positive, happy and joking even when everyone else was trying to be serious (lol). I know it sounds cliche but I literally have no bad memories of you. I can’t say that for many people. Miss you and love you always!



I miss you so much daddy!! I know you're up there having a good time with the Lord!!! I think God that he gave me a father like you!! You have been a father to many!! Well done Soldier!!
