Eugene Henry Prosack

eugene prosack
Eugene passed away on 13 March 2020 at home and was surrounded by his Loved Ones. He was 60 years old.

Eugene was primarily raised and educated in Vienna, Virginia. He graduated from James Madison High School and then from George Mason University with a degree in Economics. Professionally, Eugene supported the Unites States government in the areas of Security and US Air Force Base Closure and Environmental Clean-up programs. He was extremely proud of his critical work as an Intelligence Analyst aiding the United State intelligence community effort focusing on Counter Terrorism activities.

Eugene played sports in Vienna Youth programs and basketball for James Madison High School. Nicknamed ‘Hawk’ by his High School friends, Eugene loved the sport of basketball and could be found playing local pick-up games at Nottoway Park on weekends.

Eugene loved outdoor activities and had a passion for Surf Fishing especially from the beaches of Carolina's, Maryland and Delaware. We would routinely see pictures of his latest catch along with many stories of those that got away. Eugene enjoyed following college sports and was a avid supporter of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Eugene will be most remembered as a man of faith, supporting his church and found spiritual comfort from many visits to the National Shrine & Grotto of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. He donated a generous amount of time to his family, relatives, and friends. His focus was always on the happiness of others.

Eugene is survived by his partner Bernadette Winters and his mother Frances, siblings Kathleen, Carl, Joan and Hank, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Visitation for Eugene will be held on 16 March from 6-8 PM at the Money and King Funeral Home in Vienna VA.

A second visitation will be held at Frackville, PA on 17 March, 6-8 PM at the Albert L. Gricoski Funeral Home.

A mass of Christian burial will be held at St. Ann Catholic Church on 18 March, 10:30AM in Frackville, PA. Eugene will be laid to rest in Shenandoah Heights, PA.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Eugene's memory to the American Cancer Society.

  1. Gene, I miss you greatly already. As a brother, we grew up close and did many things together. Your dedication to family and friends was a top priority for you. Your unsurpassed courage in challenging life’s obstacles was an inspiration for us all. Sadly, you were taken much to soon from us but your pain is now gone now. I will miss not having you here over the coming years and you will always be in our prayers. Rest Peacefully, Your Brother Carl

    • I am so saddened to hear of Gene’s passing. I have fond memories of Gene and the entire Prosack family while I was in high school. My brother, Michael Kane, played basketball with Gene and has lasting memories of their friendship. Joan, I know the last several months have been so hard for your family. Please know that I have prayed for peace for Gene, your father, your mother and you.

  2. Gene, I know you cared immensely for our mother and I know she cared immensely for you. You had a unique connection, that doesn’t come along often. While Mom is devastated, she knows you’re in a better place and no longer in pain. She realizes how fortunate she was to have 22 years with you. You introduced her to so many things we never thought possible. She now follows sports! She makes a great surf fishing companion! She has even more faith than before! You were such a devoted man, so committed to your work, family and country. You represent the best of us. You will be sorely missed and sincerely remembered. With love, The Winters Family.

  3. This is Ellen Turner I was a friend of Gene’s through my older brother and sister, Steve and Julie. I am not going to be able to make it tonight but I wanted to offer my condolences to the family. May you have the peace that comes through faith in Jesus Christ and the knowledge that Gene is resting peacefully in His presence. I will always remember Gene and the gentle and humble way that he lived his life. He always made me feel like I was important and was interested in how my family was doing. I would seek him out at gatherings because he was so easy to talk to. He was a genuinely great guy. Funny sense of humor too! I was pushing my baby in a stroller on Emerald Isle beach in North Carolina one day about 15 years ago on a chilly day. Up ahead of me I noticed one other person on the beach and he was fishing. As I began to pass him I heard “Ellen is that you?!” and I looked closer and it was Gene! We had a great conversation and we both always remember that as one of those crazy “coincidences” in life. Gene, Rest in Heaven peacefully, brother, hope you catch lots of fish and we will see you there soon!

  4. We are grateful to have met Gene through Joan and Ken at one of their annual cookouts. Each year, we looked forward to seeing Gene and Bernadette at these gatherings. Gene was larger than life (literally) 🙂 and was always kind and gracious to Jeff and me. Our lives are made up of these small hours, little wonders, twists and turns of fate then time falls away. These small hours spent with Gene will remain in our hearts. Rest in Peace. Mary and Jeff Westerman

  5. To our Aunt Frances, Carl, Hank, Joan, Kathy, Bernadette and all your families, We love you very much and are praying that you will be comforted in Eugene’s passing. He is a gift from God and now is an angel watching over all of you. We will miss him terribly but he is now with Uncle Henry and all our relatives in heaven. God bless you! Love, Regina, Susan, Matt, Mike, Rob, Jeff.

  6. My heart goes out to the entire Prosack family during this difficult time and please know that we all share in your loss. I have known Gene for many years and would see him frequently when I use to work in the same office building as him a few years ago. He was truly a great guy with a kind heart and will deeply be missed. This is for you Gene…Gene Gene the dancing machine. Rest in peace

  7. I worked with Gene for the last 7 years and I will miss him. Gene was always one of my favorite people to trade pleasantries with at work. I’m very sorry for your loss and will keep your family in my prayers.
