Virgil Eugene Aborn, 82, of Savannah, MO passed away Friday, September 17, 2021, at Shady Lawn Nursing Center in Savannah.  He was born in King City, MO on August 16, 1939 to Virgil Edward & Eva (Baber) Aborn.  He married Arlena Kimble in Union Star, MO on August 24, 1958, and she survives of the home.

Virgil loved the Lord, his family, and his Kansas City Chiefs.  Virgil was a hard worker. He worked for the union for many years and retired from that. He and his wife owned an upholstery shop in Amazonia for many years. They loved transforming old torn-down furniture and making it into masterpieces. They loved having their grandkids over and created this magical place for us to grow up in. Pop and pizza in the shop and an endless place for our imaginations. They owned a lakehouse at Truman Lake and they loved taking their kids and grandkids to visit. Virgil was always telling jokes and messing around. Virgil loved caring for his wife, they were married for 63 years and he would say his most important job was caring for her. He did that well. They were best friends and their love is a love we all strive to have.
