Eugene Mosley

Eugene Mosley, born March 13, 1950, in Emanuel County, Georgia, passed away at PruittHealth–Creekside after a short illness. Eugene was a lifelong Georgian whose warmth, humor, and infectious personality left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Carlie Mae Chaffin, who married into the Mosley family, and his oldest sister, Louise Luke. Eugene is survived by his devoted older sister, Novella (Charles) Blackburn; his older brother, Rufus Mosley; his niece, Joanne (James “Butch”) Reese; his nephews, Scott (Stanalee) Blackburn and Tony Blackburn (Luz Gonzalez); his great-niece, Amanda (Allen) Wingate; his great-nephews, Richard Blackburn, Chad Blackburn, and Kenneth (Autumn) Cabell; his great-great nieces, Emmabelle Wingate and Anastasia Cabell; and his special friends, Wally and TP. He treasured his family and friends deeply and delighted in every opportunity to gather, laugh, and share stories. Eugene attended Tubman Junior High School and graduated in 1969 from the special education program at Richmond Academy. During his school years, he proudly rode the bus with the football team and the band to games—experiences he remembered with joy. He later began attending Georgia TASC and residential programs through Serenity Behavioral Health Systems. A faithful and active member of Lake Park Baptist Church, Eugene was especially close to the church’s Deacons—Dwayne McIntosh, Steve Dent, Bill Knippenberg, Don Wyatt, Larry Royal, and Tommy Mansfield. He deeply loved Steve Dent’s Sunday School class and cherished his church family. Eugene had a passion for baseball, cheering on the Atlanta Braves, and he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Georgia Bulldogs. He enjoyed staying informed and had a genuine curiosity about life and the world around him. Eugene will be remembered for his joyful spirit, his love of conversation, and the way he made others feel welcome and valued. He was, in every sense of the phrase, a “good egg.” His laughter, kindness, and unwavering enthusiasm for life will be deeply missed but fondly remembered. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Eugene’s honor to Lake Park Baptist Church, 211 Milledge Road, Augusta, GA, and/or Hearts of Serenity, 3421 Mike Padgett Highway, Augusta, GA 30906.
