Eugene Fred "Geno" Tso, 50, of Aberdeen, SD died on March 18, 2020 in Sioux Falls. Eugene Fred Tso was born on March 28, 1969 in Gallup, NM to Eugene Tso and Leslie Anne "Tez" (Miles) Tso. He spent two years in New Mexico, lived in Minnesota for 8 years, finally making home in Aberdeen. Eugene was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. He graduated from Roncalli High School in 1987 and attended Northern State University. Eugene was employed at the Bureau of Indian Affairs for 29 years, most recently as a Legal Instruments Examiner.
Eugene was born for the Hona'gha'ahnii Clan (Navajo), "One Who Walks Around One". He was also part of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribe of Oklahoma. He enjoyed Minnesota sports, especially the Vikings. He also liked watching soccer, playing darts, going to movies, and reading. He was gifted at trivia and chess. Eugene's family called him the "Mayor of Aberdeen" because he always knew someone, no matter where he went. Eugene was diagnosed with MSA and kept positive throughout every challenge. Eugene was a friend to all and will be remembered for his good sense of humor.
Eugene is survived by his mother, Leslie Anne "Tez" and his sister, Anne-Marie, both of Aberdeen; a half-brother, Fred Ashley Tso of Blue Canyon, AZ; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Eugene was preceded in death by his father, Eugene Tso; and his grandparents: Elaine and Walter Jones; Leroy Miles; and Fred and Mary Kimble Tso.
Eugene will be missed by his family. He was such a dear and loving son, and also a sweet, wonderful big brother. May God bless his soul. Private services were held. A public gathering will take place at a later date.
