MCCASLIN FAMILY
McCaslin, Vester Eugene, “Gene,” We are very sad to announce that Vester Eugene McCaslin, affectionately known as “Gene,” 63, of Gulfport, Florida, passed away from COVID-19 complications on Tuesday, February 23, 2021. He was born on May 10, 1957 in Sandwich, IL. Gene was happily married to his wife Pat for 47 years. Gene worked for St. Petersburg College for 35 years. He enjoyed time with family and friends. He had a full life and was so full of life that he would help anyone in need. Gene was a jack of all trades and never minded sharing his knowledge and expertise. He loved to teach his sons anything he could, and they have learned so much from him.
He enjoyed campfires, playing in the woods, and sharing life with family and friends. He volunteered regularly, donating his time and expertise in plumbing, electrical and carpentry at his all-faith church, The Community of Consciousness. Gene was an Assistant Boy Scout Master for 17 years and kept in touch with several of his scouts to this day. He is survived by his wife, Patricia E. (Masters) McCaslin, three sons: Jeffery A. McCaslin (Patty), Justin E. McCaslin (Donna) and Robert E. McCaslin (Miranda); four grandchildren: Michael, Jamie, David and Elizabeth; one great grandson, Elijah. He is survived by his sister, Connie Watts (John) and his brother, Vincent McCaslin (Nancy), as well as a multitude of nieces, nephews and cousins. Gene was preceded in death by both of his parents, Vester L. McCaslin and Betty Lois (Saunders) McCaslin, and his sister, Sharon Kay McCaslin. There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, May 15. Due to the continued COVID-19 outbreak, face masks will be required of all attendees to ensure everyone’s safety. The location in Spring Hill, Florida and event time is to be determined. We plan to cater this event so please RSVP by May 1 if you will be in attendance at 813-298-6742. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Gene’s church, The Community of Consciousness Church. To make donations please go to commofcon.com.
