Eulogy for Gene Underwood - Written and delivered by Brandon Landerberg, 15 year old grandson of Mr. Gene Underwood.
Many of you know my granddaddy. Gene Underwood was a great man with a huge heart. For me, it’s very hard to let him go and I know it’s hard for all of you. I loved him with all of my heart and I thank God for every second I had with him. At first, I didn’t want to let him go because I thought I wouldn’t have anything to remember him by, but now I know I will have my wonderful memories. Knowing he loved me has helped me get through these past few days. My granddaddy helped my mom raise me and my brothers and sister. All of us had our own special connection with him and we will never loose that. I’ve always been afraid of death because I didn’t know what it truly meant, but I think it means being released from pain and misery and going on to be with God and others we’ve lost before. I know some of us haven’t known him as long as others, but I can tell you, he loved us all the same. To me, and to many others, no one will ever amount to the man he was. I know this is a bit long but, if you don’t mind, I’d like to say... My granddaddy was always there for me and to me, his heart beats as mine. So as my heart beats, so does his... Even if he’s no longer on this earth.
