John P. Reese

Obituary's Biography:

John P Reese, 77, passed away the morning of May 19. 2022 at the home in Wildwood that he shared with his wife, Alyce, for almost 30 years. He was born in Seattle, WA, to Otto and Marjorie (nee Wheeler) Reese on January 6, 1945 and raised near Decatur, IL.

He proudly served in the Army during the Vietnam war and supported Veteran’s groups including the VFW, Marine Toys for Tots, Paralyzed Veterans, DAV and the Wounded Warrior Project. As a self-employed salesman for most of his career, he took pride in maintaining the tools and equipment he used to maintain his home including his 1996 Jeep, harvesting the crops in his garden, building creative furniture and looking for natural solutions to combat the effects of modern living.

John is survived by his wife Alyce, his step-son Luke, daughter-in-law, Heidi, and grand-daughter, Symone.  His quirky sense of humor and passion for life will be missed.
