It is with heavy hearts that the family of Jack Reeves beloved husband of Marie, of almost 66 years of marriage, announces his passing peacefully in his sleep June 13, 2019 at St Joseph’s Home at the age of 93.

He is also survived by three sisters, Joy, Fern and Kay, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Hazel & T.G. Reeves, two sisters Dorothy & Vaughn, also his granddaughter Layne and daughter in-law Paulette.
Jack was a finish carpenter for 45 years working for the Oland Family which he took great pride in (if you wanted a perfectionist carpenter, he was your man)
Jack was very proud of his children and loved every second spent in the presence of his family. He will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched, he was truly a gentle soul.
The funeral service will be held in the Cook Southland Funeral Chapel. 901 -13 Street SW, Medicine Hat on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 2:00 PM with a gathering thereafter in the Cook Southland reception facility.

Jack was very well respected, and thought of by my parents, many years ago,when he did a lot of finishing work for them on Belfast Street.
