Charles Eugene Bishop, 53, of Mud Fork, WV, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at his residence.
He was born October 24, 1968 at Logan, WV, he was the son of the late Charles Henry Bishop and Diana Gail Workman.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jesse Bishop, Stella William Bishop, James Robert Workman, and Nannie Stivers Workman; uncle, Daniel Ray; aunt, Linda Vance; and a host of other uncles and loved ones.
Eugene was our gentle giant. He was passionate about helping others even if it meant giving the shirt off his back. He didn't like the thought of anyone being hungry. He loved spending time with family and friends, throwing darts, riding 4-wheelers, bikes, swimming, dancing and talking. He was the family free movie rental, he loved to share his thoughts on movies and recommend extras to take home. Eugene loved to taste test family food and was a hilarious food critic. He had a passion for history and numbers. You would often hear plans about when he “hit the lottery” his family would be taken care of, he played the same numbers as long as the family can remember.
Those left to cherish his memory include four sisters, Lana Bishop of Logan, WV, Audrey (Christopher) Kenneda of Simon, WV, Stella (Charlie) Kenneda, Simon, WV, and Nella (Johnny) Rife, of Princeton, WV; two brothers, Charles (Martha) Roberts of Simon, WV, and Wesley (Holly) Bishop of Knoxville, TN; aunts, Irma Colegrove, Rebecca Frye, and Velda Ghee; two nieces, Shawna (Jeremy) Workman, and Shania Hope (Daniel) Topping; one great-niece, Serenity Topping; two great-nephews, Breylin Workman, and Judah Topping.
