    Gene Woodson Arvin, age 87, passed away Sunday, March 13, 2022, at Baptist Health of Richmond, Kentucky.
    Gene was born on March 16, 1934, at his maternal grandparents’ home on Crooked Creek, Irvine, Kentucky. He was the son and only child of the late Bulan and Eula Peters Arvin. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Barbara Cox Arvin.
    Gene was a 1952 graduate of Estill County High School and a 1956 graduate of Eastern Kentucky State College. He began his teaching career at Estill County High School in 1957, teaching history and civics. Late in his career he had the opportunity to teach social studies to homebound students and to coach the Hargett Elementary Panthers basketball team. Both of which he considered some of the most enjoyable and rewarding moments in his teaching journey.
    Mr. Arvin retired from teaching in 1988 mainly to be the primary caretaker for his ailing father and later on his mother. Gene was also employed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Compliance Division measuring tobacco. He often shared many interesting stories of people and situations he encountered as the “government tobacco measuring guy from the state office.”
    Gene enjoyed so many things: refinishing old furniture, rebuilding wrecked Volkswagens, visiting used bookstores, coaching little league baseball, genealogy, organizing old family pictures, and most especially; reading the newspaper cover to cover sometimes twice a day. The list could go on and on, but his biggest passion was his family, from his grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren to his great grandchildren. He always said, “Coming from a history teacher. Remember the past, live and cherish the present, use those to shape the future.” Do not know where he got that from, but sure does make a lot of sense.
    In later years, he was an avid sports fan of his grandkids and great grandkids, regularly attending their various sporting events. He could be a coach, official and mentor all rolled into one.
    Gene is survived by his four children: Shelia Arvin, Gene Woodson “Woody” Arvin II (JoAnn Smith), Cindy Robinson (Gary) and Gina Arvin (Dennis Hall); five grandchildren, Loren Arvin (Steven Walters), Trent Arvin, Kaitlyn Weekly (Mitchell), Kelby Robinson and Rachel Robinson (Ryley Tompson); five great grandchildren, Andrew and Kyser Chaney; Kenslie, Ian and Sophia Weekley; and one cousin, William Miles Arvin.
    Funeral services for Gene Woodson Arvin will be conducted on Thursday, March 17,2022 at 1:00 p.m. in the Lewis Home for Funerals chapel with Rev. Kelby Robinson officiating. Interment will follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16 ,2022 at Lewis Home for Funerals.
    Pallbearers will be Trent Arvin, Kelby Robinson, Andrew Chaney, Kyser Chaney, Steven Walters, Mitchell Weekly, Ryley Thompson and Ian Weekley.
    Honorary pallbearers will be all his friends, extended family, colleagues, students, and all that in some way he may have touched during his life.
