Just reading this obituary saddens me. To think that this young man lost his life at the age of 17 is devastating. Please accept my deepest condolence to Reese's parents, siblings, family, and friends. I am very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort and true hope for our loved ones in Jehovah God's word the bible. Two, of many comforting scriptures I like are, Revelation 21: 3-5 and Psalms 37: 10, 11. I will pray for your family during this difficult time.

Dear family & friends of Reese, I am so sorry for your loss of Reese. It's so hard when you lose someone you love & that also had so much potential ahead of them. Something that's brings me much comfort & hope is at Revelation 21:3, 4. I hope it will for you all too.
