Eugene was born on June 5, 1934, in Cassville, WI, the son of Vincent and Rose (Zimmer) Wiest. He was united in marriage to Carol Jean Willkomm, on August 10, 1954, at St. Charles Catholic Church, in Cassville. They started a family and farmed in Grant County until 1976, when he went to work at the John Deere Dubuque Works before pursuing his passion by becoming a semi-truck driver, traveling the countryside.
