Eugene Sidney VanGorder
Eugene Sidney VanGorder, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, pastor, veteran, and friend, died April 29, 2021.
He contracted COVID which led to a devastating stroke that ultimately ended his life.
Eugene, Gene to most, died months before a planned 70th birthday celebration for which he requested a firework display and full family attendance. Some might associate such a grand party with a boisterous man, but Gene was well known for his gentle spirit, his curious disposition, and his steadfast commitment to his family. He loved to be outside and was an avid hunter. He was recently at work on a new, elaborate tree stand on the family’s property to rival his previous build. He proudly taught all of his children how to hunt, fish, and be industrious with their labors.
Gene graduated from Port Allegany High School with the class of 1970. He enlisted to fight in theVietnam War Veteran
Vietnam War and served his country with dignity and bravery for two and a half years in the United States Navy.
Upon his return, he was a driller in the gas and oil field industry until his retirement in 1990.
Most importantly, Gene loved Jesus and committed his efforts and his attention to knowing God and sharing His love with others. Gene was saved at a Billy Graham service in 1968 and since then, the abundance of joy that Gene found in his relationship with Jesus overflowed into his family and community. His family rejoices that Gene now resides in Heaven, where he can finally ask the deep, philosophical questions that so occupied his earthly conversations.
He is survived by his adoring wife, Sally Anne, of 47 years. Eugene and Sally shared a playful and adventurous love and faced adversity together without fear, assured by their faith.
He is survived by his five children, whom he loved fiercely and counseled wisely. They are Joshua R. (Nyasia) VanGorder, of Port Allegany, Brandy L. (Brad) Scott, of Meadville, Tammy S. (Robert) VanGorder of Smethport, David J. (Megan) VanGorder or DeKalb, Illinois, and Gerritt S. VanGorder, of Port Allegany. He is also survived by his sisters Sharon (Rick) Swanson of Kersey, PA and Sandy Urbanick of Fernley, NV; his brother, Stanley VanGorder of Indaina. PA; and his half-brother, Rick Valentine of Minnesota..
He is preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Lois Hardy VanGorder, and his brother, Gordy.
