Hershel Eugene “Gene” Paschal

Hershel Eugene “Gene” Paschal, age 50, of Clovis, New Mexico, peacefully entered into eternal rest on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at his home.

Born on July 6, 1976, in Clovis, New Mexico, Gene was a one-of-a-kind soul whose laughter, love, kindness, and unforgettable personality touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Gene had a remarkable gift for bringing joy to others. Known for his wonderful sense of humor and his ability to make just about anyone laugh, he could brighten even the most difficult days. Although he knew when to be serious, he never lost his playful spirit or his desire to bring happiness to those around him.

Beyond his humor, Gene possessed a generous heart and a genuine willingness to help others. He was the kind of person who would give someone the shirt off his back without a second thought. His kindness, compassion, and selflessness reflected the beautiful heart he carried throughout his life. He had a special way of making people laugh, feel supported, and know they could count on him.

Gene’s presence was truly one of a kind. The love he shared, the laughter he inspired, and the countless memories he created will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Hershel E. Paschal Sr., and his granddaughter, Skylar J. Paschal.

Gene leaves to cherish his loving memory his devoted wife, Karen L. Paschal; his mother, Sandra Paschal; his sons, Cody Taylor Paschal and Mayson Eugene Paschal; his granddaughter, Harper Paschal; and his siblings, Franklin Parks, Lisa Brown, and Mike Paschal. He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure his memory.
