John K.E. Reeve

Sorry to hear of your loss. Wishing you well. My the Lord comfort you.

Dear Nancy. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family at this difficult time. I know how painful it is to lose your husband, someone who is so close to you, particularly so suddenly. Try to be strong and you will get through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this to you, dear Nancy. What an amazing person John was and what a remarkable life he led. He was a man that wore many hats; a husband, proud father, very proud grandfather, esteemed church member, neighbor, and friend. I saw him as a man that loved his family and friends. He was admired and loved in return. I loved working with John during my tenure with RM Auctions. I could always count on his pleasant attitude and great advice. I am glad his life touched mine. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Nancy and family, We were so sorry to hear about John's death. We have many fond memories of you all and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. If there is anything we can do, we are a phone call away. Mike, Jane, Candace & Steve

Our thoughts and prayers this evening will focus on the Reeve family. David and I served in Rome together, and are now neighbours here in Alberta. A family that has produced a man of his calibre will no doubt weather this loss with faith and integrity, but they will also no doubt feel it acutely. Be well, all. If we can be useful to our Reeves during this time, we will, and gladly.

My heart hurts for your family. John was my Bishop when I was a youth and I remember his love and concern for all of the youth. When I think of the London Stake I associate John and the Reeves with being pioneers....one of the stalwart and respected families in London. I love you all so much! You've touched my family's life in many ways and John was a huge part of our lives. I recall dances, games nights, Washington DC temple trips, track meets, dinners, plays, fund raisers and many interviews...John was and is a wonderful, caring and respected an and he will be greatly missed. Tank you for your influence and example, John. And thank you Reeves for your friendship and love through the years. I pray that you will feel The Lord 's love and peace.

Dearest Reeve Family My heart goes out to you on the loss of John. I have fond memories of him and your family as part of 3rd Ward. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Much love Terry Leigh and Family

Elisa, Russell and family, we are so saddened by this difficult loss. We met John only once, but were struck by his gentle manner and his devotion to his grandchildren. At the time, he was holding Amelia, who was only a month old. She was so relaxed in his arms: it was obviously a great place to be. Wishing you strength and peace, and sending our love and prayers, Bill, Bernie, John, Elizabeth and Katy

Dear Reeve Family, we are saddened and so very sorry for the sudden and deep loss of your Father and Grandfather, John. He was such a good man and a stalwart strength to your family and to so many others. I remember him fondly as I spent time in your home and ward in London. Your family is near and dear to my heart. We are so happy we had the privilege of seeing him a couple of summers ago. Please know that our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love, Cristy (Dowse) and Wade Hardie, Hank and Judy Dowse

In memory of a man whose heart was behind everything he did. I will always hold John in high esteem, not just for the way he genuinely cared about people, but because he was one of the first people who saw hidden potential in me. He encouraged me to rise to that potential and to always strive to become my best self. I especially remember how welcome he made me feel during my visits back to London in recent years. He had no idea of the suffering I was enduring at that time, and how inspiring his heart-felt words were to me. He was simply being his genuine, caring self. And in doing so, he lightened my load and bolstered my spirits. Please know my heart is with you all during your time of grief. May you find peace in the knowledge that he is watching over you, and find joy in your memories of the example he set. Love, Laurie

Dear Reeve Family, How can you put into words in a short space what someone has meant to you in your life? We were speechless after hearing of John's passing and it is just now really sinking in. He is a wonderful man and was always concerned about us and showed it. We remember long conversations in his Bishop office at the church at the close of many days packed with meetings- just chatting and sharing feelinsg and testimonies. We have fond memories of attending the Washington temple with him.On one occasion the brother who was supposed to drive Joyce Boyd and Paulette to the temple early in the morning had forgotten to wait for them. We knocked on John's door and he quickly got ready and drove us at 6:30 a.m. We fondly remember institute classes that he taught. When the Toronto Temple was announced at Gen. Conf. John and Paulette were passing in the hallway at Church and he gave her a great big hug in celebration of the announcement that we were so excited about. When our car was out of commission one time, he drove out of his way up to our house and took us to the church for an activity. He was always available to help give blessings at a moment's notice. He obtained some jobs for Paulette making cakes for some people that he knew. Although we had moved away from London in recent years, John was one of the people in London that we thought of often and missed associating with. We have many fond memories of fun gatherings with small groups of friends in which John and Nancy were included and the bonds that were formed. We loved sharing our home with the Reeve family and having our children be together. Nancy, our warmest wishes that you will be comforted in the knowledge of the Gospel plan and the devotion that John, a godly man, had to you and your family, and as time passes may your wounded heart begin to heal and happy memories linger until you can meet John once again. Much love and hugs to you. Richard and Paulette Jenkinson

Dear Nancy and family Our sincere condolences on the sudden passing of John. His name arouses deep feelings of friendship with many fond memories of our association. Our time together in the Hamilton 2nd Ward Bishopric will always be very special to us. We pray that our Heavenly Father will comfort and bless you in the difficult days ahead as you make necessary adjustments in your life. May you find comfort in the gospel and the eternal marriage that you have. Love, Ken & Gloria

Nancy & family We are deeply sorrowed for the loss of such a great man as John. Always full of insight, and willing to help, he was a man whose shoes anyone would be proud to walk in, and yet so few could do it. We are sorry that we could not be there to express our sympathy to you in person due to family commitments. We will always be grateful for the influence which John has had, and will continue to have, in our lives. God bless you all in this time of grief.

Dear Nancy and Family, We were very sorry to hear of the passing of John. He was a wonderful friend. You will miss him very much but your wonderful memories will heal your sorrow. With sympathy, Marguerite and George

Dear Nancy and family, There is nothing that I can write that can bring any comfort to you during this time of great loss, but I want you to know that I am grieving with you. John is a good man and I share his faith that mortality is but a small part of our existence, and that we all will see him again. May the Lord bless and comfort you. Much love, Samuel Smith

We are very saddened by the sudden passing of our close friend John. There are few individuals in life that make you want to be a better person and John was one of these very special individuals . Our hearts pour out to Nancy and the wonderful Reeve family. Please accept our sincerest condolences. We love you very much. Mel, Tracie and kids.

Sorry for your loss. May you find the peace and comfort at this time. Love Mike and Tammy Ripley.

Dear Nancy and Family: We are in Montreal and were stunned to hear the news of John's passing. We regret we are unable to be present for the viewing and funeral. We started our family in London when John was our Bishop. He was a great leader to learn from and Roy will always treasure his first blessing when going to university. Your family has blessed our lives and that of our children. We pray, Nancy, that you and your family may be blessed with the peace that can only come through the Saviour, Jesus Christ. Love from Roy and Irene

I'm so sorry & saddened to hear of brother Reeve's passing. My love & prayers are with you & your family.

We are all saddened by the passing of such a wonderful man. We all remember him fondly as our Bishop many years ago and send our love to all your family. God bless you.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Brother Reeve was my Bishop as a teenager, I may not of appreciated him then but as I grew older and wiser. I look back now and know that he was a great man who had a lot of love and wise council. I still to this day heed to the council he gave me, because I know it came through him from the Lord. Love and prayers for the family.

I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of a wonderful and well respected man. As a youth I admired John very much. He had the most wonderful smile and friendly demeanor. He was the proud patriarch to one of the most wonderful families I have had the pleasure to know and call friends within our LDS community. He will be missed immensely.

Dear Reeve Family, I remember Brother Reeve very fondly as my bishop in London 3rd Ward. I will always remember his smile the most. I am so saddened by your loss. God bless you all. Love, Bebe Krohn Rakowicz, St. Thomas Ward

To Nancy and family, we would like to express our condolences to all of you. John always approached us with a smile and encouragement. We did not get to know him long enough--though we have been blessed through his children--he exemplified love and charity from the first moment to the most recent greeting. A man of peace, he will be missed dearly. With love and prayers to your family from ours. -Mark, Holly, Rachel, and Kira.

Know that we are thinking of your family. You are in our prayers. Your family will always be part of ours. Personally I remember those Temple trips to Chicago and Washington. I will forever have those memories Love. Rhett and Kim and family

Dear Nancy & family: We were so saddened to hear of John's sudden passing on Tuesday. We have many happy memories of John, as our Bishop, and as our friend. Please accept our sincere condolences. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you all. Sincerely, Roger, Judy & family

I have many good memories of Brother Reeve but my most cherished was after the birth of our third child. She was colicky and I was pacing the halls with her when Brother Reeve insisted that I let him take her - in moments she was sound asleep in his arms and he walked the halls with her that Sunday and others. I was shocked but so relieved to have a break and to know she was peaceful. What a thoughtful and loving man! Thank you for being my friend.

Dear Nancy and Family, we were in deep shock at learning of John's untimely passing. It is with the deepest sympathy that we send our love and support to you. Although the times were few since we both became grandparents, we will always remember the laughs and good times we had together at Church dances and get-togethers at the Goodmans'. John will truly be missed, but I know that he will be with you in spirit, always. God bless you during this time and always. Love you.

John Reeve, so sad to hear that he passed away, He was such a humble man, always went out of his way to make you feel welcome, soft spoken, a great example in everything he did in life and especially in the church and his family, he loved his wife and family so much, will miss him greatly. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family, I am proud to have known John, especially as a friend and a great example, Nancy and family we love you and miss you, God Bless.175

I am very sad to hear that we lost such a wonderful man. John was my go to person at RM right from the beginning. He was so proud of his children and always so excited when another grandchild was on its way. I will miss him greatly. So sorry for you loss. - Kathy

Dear Sis. Reeve and family: The world has a certain emptiness with the passing of John, a good husband, a good father, a good man and a good friend. He and I were speaking about how his family was doing in there many ventures around the world. He was certainly proud of all of you. He loved you and we loved him. He will be missed. God bless you all in this difficult time and times to come.

When John and I would work auctions together the first thing we would do was share pictures of our grandchildren. He was so proud of his family. I will truly miss his gentle spirit. Take care Nancy.

Dear Nancy and Family, We are heartbroken to hear of John's sudden passing. You both hold a special place in our hearts. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. We have lots of great memories of John. In them, he always wears a smile. All our love, Angela and Allen
