(From Hedges-Scott-Millard Funeral Home)Allan Eugene Goade Jr, age 92, of Osage Beach, Missouri (formerly of Granby, Missouri) entered his heavenly home on January 16, 2025.
Gene was born November 15, 1932, in Granby, Missouri; the son of Allan Eugene Goade Sr. and Zetta (Baugh) Goade.
Gene grew up in Granby, Missouri and married the love of his life, Betty Maxine Shank, on November 1, 1951. He proudly served in the United States Navy from 1951 to 1954 during the Korean War. After serving in the Navy, he returned to work on the Shank family farm in Granby, Missouri.
Shank Farms and Greenhouses was in operation from 1929 to1989 and Flowers by Shanks from 1972 to 1989. It was said that he was an agricultural expert and an engineer, talented at inventing equipment to make the farm work smoother. In 1989, Gene and Betty moved to Rocky Mount, Missouri, where he became head of maintenance for the Osage Beach School district until he retired. He let his talent shine at his work and around the area, as he could fix anything.
Gene was a devoted member, music director and deacon of the Granby First Baptist Church in Granby, Missouri. When he moved in 1989, he became an active and faithful member and deacon at Riverview Baptist in Osage Beach, Missouri until his passing. He had a kind and gentle soul who never met a stranger and always had a story or a joke or two to tell. He enjoyed life and having a good time, especially trying to make people laugh. He had a wide range of interests and activities including building birdhouses, hot air ballooning, fishing, and catching a nap or two during the day. He especially enjoyed cooking with a specialty of BBQ and was known as “the pitmaster”.
Gene is survived by his loving wife of 73 years, Betty Goade of the home; 3 children Mike Goade and wife Cyndi of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Steven Goade and wife Lori of Parsons, Kansas and Deborah (Debbie) Thomas , husband David of Louisville, Kentucky. Three grandchildren; Eric Boles, Alexandra (Goade) Johnson, and Shelly (Goade) Phillips, four great-grandchildren Mackenize and Cooper Boles, and Michael and Ben Rogers; one great-great-grandchild Isaac Rogers; one sister Lee Ann Dingman; nieces, nephews other relatives; and many friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Gene was preceded in death by his parents Allan Sr. and Zetta Goade; his siblings Carolyn Beals, Jerome Goade, Neil Goade, and Kathy Skaggs.
