Eugene Douglas Dillon, 89, of Horseshoe Bay passed away March 4, 2013, at home on hospice after a long, hard illness. Born March 28, 1923, in Cleburne, he was the son of Verne and Ethelda (Richardson) Dillon.
After graduating from Texas A&M, Gene joined the Army and served as an officer in China during World War II. After leaving the service, he settled in Beaumont and had a veterinarian practice for many years.
Gene loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing, especially. Duplicate bridge was his favorite pastime, and he became a life master. He also loved to travel and play golf.
He genuinely loved life and will be missed by all that knew him.
Gene is survived by his wife, Suzanne of Horseshoe Bay; daughter, Sara and husband Robert Celli Jr. of Beaumont; son, David Dillon of Lumberton; grandchildren, Tiffany Celli and husband Max of Dallas, Christina Celli O’Bryant of Carrollton and Sarah Dillon of Lumberton; and great-grandchildren, Blake Steelman, Caroline Steelman and Riley O’Bryant. He also is survived by Christina Segovia, his caregiver for many years and now a family member.
Visitation is 5-7 p.m. March 8 at Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home, 1805 U.S. 281 North in Marble Falls, (830) 693-4373. A graveside service is 1 p.m. March 9 at Cleburne Memorial Cemetery in Cleburne.
