Memorials

Bandit Eugene, beloved chihuahua, lifelong troublemaker, and tiny force of nature, passed away at the remarkable age of 18 (88). Though small in size, Bandit’s presence was anything but—he carried himself with the confidence of a creature ten times his weight and at least twice his attitude.

A comedian at heart, Bandit had an unmatched talent for making his family laugh, whether through his dramatic side-eye, exaggerated sighs, or his signature strut that suggested he was the one running the household (which, frankly, he was). He perfected the art of being mean and surly in a way that was somehow endlessly charming, proving that a little sass can go a very long way.

Underneath his tough exterior, Bandit was the best boy his family could have ever asked for. Loyal, opinionated, stubborn, and full of personality, he filled 18 years with memories, laughter, and love. His tiny paws left a giant imprint on the hearts of everyone who knew him.

Bandit Eugene will be truly missed—his presence, his quirks, and even his grumpy little growls. He lived life on his own terms and leaves behind a legacy of spirit and devotion that will never be forgotten.

Run free, sweet Bandit. You were one of a kind.
