Eugene (Bush) Raymond Drummond was born in Omaha, Nebraska on March 24,
1959, to Melvin D. Sr and Betty "Darlene" (Lewis) Drummond. They moved to
Columbus, Nebraska, where Gene grew up. Eventually, he moved to North Platte,
Nebraska.

Gene was a concrete / construction laborer for over 25 years in the North Platte area.
He was an avid outdoorsman his entire life. He loved to hunt and fish. It was in his
nature to pass down his knowledge of the outdoors, not just to his own children and
grandchildren, but others as well.

Gene was a very devoted and protective father. He taught his family the importance of
standing up for what they believed in, and the importance of being "a Drummond".
Gene was a very strong willed man, but soft hearted, who always told it like it was,
even if you weren't ready to hear it. But it was always the tough truth. He truly had an
aura about him, he was bigger than life itself. He was a generous man and came to
know many people throughout his life, most of which became a second family to him.
