Bernard Eugene Post

Bernard E. “Gene” Post, 91, of Mound City, Kansas, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2025.

Born on May 2, 1934, in Mound City, Kansas, he lived a life marked by generosity, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion to his family.

Gene was the owner of the Post Body Shop in Mound City, Kansas for thirty-five years, where he was known for his integrity, work ethic, and the kindness he showed to everyone he met. Outside of work, he found joy in making things with his hands, traveling/camping, and riding motorcycles, and he shared those passions freely with friends and family.  Above all, he was a devoted husband and family man. He taught his family the value of hard work, humility, and compassion - not through words alone, but through the way he lived each day. His presence brought steadiness, his humor brought lightness, and his love brought comfort.

He is survived by his wife, stepbrother, 3 children, 8 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren, who will carry his memory forward with deep gratitude.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, March 20, 2026, 10:00am, at Woodland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Mound City Methodist Church or a charity of your choice.  Following the service, a celebration of life will be held in his honor at the Mound City Methodist Church from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched, and he will be profoundly missed.
