Obituary
Dr. Eugene Dale Horrell, 81 passed away peacefully at his home in Spearfish Canyon, South Dakota on Monday, October 14, 2013.
Gene was born on January 27, 1932 to Stanley and Doris (Dunn) Horrell. He attended grade school in Buffalo, South Dakota. Gene graduated in 1950 from Vermillion High School, and did his pre-med at the University of South Dakota. He received his medical degree from Temple University in Philadelphia. His surgical residency was at Tampa General in Florida and he became a renowned and respected hand surgeon in Detroit, Michigan, where he met his wife, Linda Gruber Horrell.
As the oldest of five children, Gene worked since he was a child. He delivered papers, helped his grandmother, Estelle Rouse at the family dairy, and helped his grandparents, Dale and Wanda Dunn, during summers at their ranch.
After a successful career as a beloved and renowned hand surgeon in the Detroit, Michigan and surrounding areas, Gene, a country boy at heart, retired to his beloved South Dakota, in Spearfish Canyon, where he enjoyed a life lived outdoors. Hunting and fishing with friends and family were just two of the many outdoor activities Gene loved.
