Besides his loving wife Leona, he was also predeceased by his parents Adolf and Ella Mehlhaff, brother Fred Mehlhaff and son-in-law John Koop.

Eugene, known to many as "Beaver", was a wonderful father and grandfather who devoted his life to his family. He worked hard all his life and always took time to spend with his family and numerous friends. Eugene never had a mean bone in his body, maybe that is why he had no enemies, he was well liked and loved by everyone he knew. Eugene had another family, his Linden View family in Taber for thirteen years. I am sure all who knew Eugene will miss his friendship and humor.
