Eubanks, aged 22 at his death, was buried in Westview Cemetery, Kinston, North Carolina.

Sergeant Eubanks' official Medal of Honor citation reads: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty at Noemfoor Island, Dutch New Guinea, 23 July 1944.

Directing his men to maintain their fire, he and 2 scouts worked their way forward up a shallow depression to within 25 yards of the enemy.

The enemy, having located his position, concentrated their fire with the result that he was wounded and a bullet rendered his rifle useless.
