Homer Eugene “Gene” Mann, Jr. of Tulsa, Oklahoma peacefully slipped from the caring arms of his family into the loving arms of his Lord on November 28, 2012. He is preceded in death by his parents, Homer and Mollie Mann; one sister, Norma Faye, and one brother, Curtis Bryan. He is survived by the love of his life for 65 years, Wanda Louise; daughter, Dolores Jean of Colorado Springs; son, Donald Eugene and wife Rhonda of Tulsa; two grandsons: Benjamin Eugene of Washington, D.C. and Nathan Kyle and wife Callie of San Marcos, California. In addition to his family, Gene leaves behind a group of caring friends who have selflessly provided comfort, encouragement and support to him and his family during his long struggle. For over fifty years, Gene built houses and various construction projects in the Tulsa area and also served for over thirty years as a Sunday School teacher, Worship Leader, Music Minister and Associate Pastor in some local churches. He and his wife, Wanda, have been dearly beloved members of the Carpenters Class at First United Methodist for over twenty years. Throughout his life, Gene was known as a fun-loving fellow with indomitable optimism, a ready laugh, and a droll, spontaneous humor. He was someone you would like at once and appreciate more upon better acquaintance. He leaves us with a legacy of faith, fidelity, love, generosity and service to others. A memorial service will be held at 11:30am, December 27, 2012 at First United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Carpenters Class Missions Fund, First United Methodist Church, 1115 S. Boulder Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74119.
