Eugene Ronald Cullers
December 30th, 2020 saw the passing of Eugene R. “Coach” Cullers
Born on May 1st, 1932, in Eaton, Ohio, Eugene’s career highlights
include:
• 60 years of marriage to his beloved
wife Katherine Lefler Cullers
• 5 Loving Children – Kelly, Marc,
Colleen, Matthew, and Elizabeth
• 14 adoring grandchildren, and 5 of the
greatest great grand children
• Countless happy memories, and one
beautiful life story
He was a father who raised his family by being an example of love and
selflessness, and demonstrated these qualities every day of his life.
Before embarking on his career as an educator and coach at Gratis he
proudly served in the US army in Europe.
He was an educator, who dedicated himself to impacting the lives of his
students and staff for over 30 years.
His coaching career included basketball, baseball, wrestling, track,
and wherever he could make an impact. As a coach, he taught not only
the fundamentals of sport but more importantly the fundamentals of life
to his athletes, for over three generations.
Coach would tell you he was the luckiest man in the world, never
hesitating to give all credit to God. He was a man willing to share his
time, his talents, his energy, his faith and his wisdom.
In lieu of flowers – Remember him by reaching out; Perform an act of
kindness, make a charitable donation, champion an underdog, encourage
someone who is struggling. And if you have the opportunity, tell them
you were inspired by “Coach Cullers”
“And in this way, there will never come an end to the good that he has
done.”
Due to the current situation with Covid, the family will be holding a
Celebration of Life event in the Spring.
