Robert Lee Reeves

He was also a truck driver, traveling to 48 states and Canada; as he would say, “Seeing the country through that big windshield.” He did not fully retire until he was 84 years old when his health began to decline.

Robert is survived by his loving wife of 69 years, Sue Wilson Reeves; his daughters, Teresa and Donald Evans, and Robbie Harper; his grandchildren, David and Jennifer Harper, Daniel Harper, Stacy and Brian Mikes, and Kaitlyn and Keaton Harper; her great grandchildren, Hunter Harper, Karter Harper, Hannah Harper, Blair Mikes, Mallory Mikes, and Tatum Scruggs; his brother, Phillip Reeves; his sisters Peggy Tanner, and Ann King; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
