HOME GOING CELEBRATION 
Mr. James Eugene Bacon was born on February 10, 1948 to 
the late Mr. William and Mrs. Annie Lee Bacon. This union 
produced four children, of which Eugene was the third born. 
He departed this life on April 27, 2009 at Evans Memorial 
Hospital. 
Eugene was a member of the 1967 graduating class of Evans 
County High School. After graduation from high school 
Eugene enlisted in the military, but his daddy was afraid for 
him because of the Vietnam War. Somehow his dad and 
mom were able to get him out of that enlistment. He was 
then united in marriage to Annie Marie Murray and to this 
union one son was born. 
At an early age he joined Green Cypress Missionary Baptist 
Church. 
During his lifetime Eugene worked as a construction worker 
and a log truck driver. He and his brother, Winton, also 
purchased their own 18 wheeler and did long distance 
hauling for several years. Even after Eugenes medical 
diagnosis he resumed hauling logs when his doctor said he 
could. Eugene has always been a hard worker and 
continued hauling logs until his health would not allow him 
to do so. 
Eugene leaves to mourn his death, a loving and devoted 
family: one son, Mr. James Raenard Bacon, Claxton, 
Georgia; two sisters: Ms. Minnie Lee Robinson, New York 
and Ms. Glenda Cooley, Claxton, Georgia; one brother Mr. 
John Winton Bacon (Elaine), Claxton, Georgia. He also 
leaves to mourn his death a devoted companion, Ms. 
Samantha Moore, four sisters-in-law, 8 brothers-in-law, and 
several nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

He Only Takes the Best 
God saw that he was getting tired 
And a cure was not to be. 
So he put his arms around him 
And whispered, Come with me. 
With tear filled eyes we watched him suffer 
And fade away 
Although we loved him deeply 
We could not, make him stay. 
A golden heart stopped beating. 
Hard working hands put to rest. 
God broke our hearts to prove to us 
He only, takes the best.
