Eugene was born on December 11, 1928 in Roscoe, South Dakota to Karl and Rosa Leidholt. Eugene was born into a family that would eventually contain 13 children. When he was one year old, his family moved to Wesson Flats, MT which was seventy miles from Miles City. Eugene’s family lived in a three room house and they were very poor. His mother was a housewife and his father worked for the neighbors when there was work. There was no well near the house so water had to be hauled half a mile. Every day, Eugene and his siblings walked three and half miles to school. Eugene started milking cows when he was six years old. There many times that Eugene and his siblings went hungry because there was not enough food to eat. In 1941, Eugene and the family moved to a small ten acre farm outside of Miles City. He graduated from eighth grade at Kircher School and this was his last formal schooling. He then began his first job herding sheep to support the family. He worked installing water and sewer lines for the Radar base. Then he worked for the Grasshopper Control Project, construction projects and various heavy equipment jobs. Eugene worked for the County Road Department for thirty-three years retiring in 1992. In 1993 he went to work for his nephew Dwayne, doing farm work for thirteen years.

He loved spending time with his daughter and grandson Kevin, whom he was very proud of and enjoyed swapping stories with his son-in-law Alan. Together Eugene and Jean enjoyed many cruises to New Zealand and the Bahamas, they loved going to country western concerts and rodeos together. He was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church, but the last ten years of his life he spent faithfully taking care of his sick wife.
