Reavy was always there for me when I needed help. He was a great friend and brother-in-law in my darkest days. He has always tried to help others in need both at work and in his personal life. I will never forget him and all the things he has done. God bless you Reavy

So blessed with a long life, but even with all those years I know they were not enough for those who held Reavy so dear to their hearts. To all his loved ones, I extend my deepest condolences. May the countless, fine memories of your beloved Reavy forever warm your hearts and bring smiles to your faces, even behind tears shed. May you find comfort in knowing that death was never God’s plan, (Gen.1:28; Rom.5:12) and one day death will be no more, (Rev.21:4) as loved ones will be resurrected (Acts 24:15) with the hope of life forever in paradise, on earth, (Ps.37:11,29) as God intended. Until then, a fine person rests in God’s loving care.
