  2. I am very sorry to hear about Doyle. My God Bless the Family. Doyle and I had a lot of good times together at Magnavox plus when I went by the Farmers Market I would go by and we would catch up on everything.

  3. Uncle Doyle was a great man. I will always remember the fond memories of our family Sunday picnics. Climbing on the tractor with trailer setting off into the woods looking for “Hog Heaven”. He always shared his love of cows with me. We would go to the field, while he threw feed out then let me pet them. I will cherish his sweet and kind personality for the rest of my days. Till we meet again.
    Much love Uncle Doyle,
    Lisa

  4. Doyle will be missed by everyone who knew him. His thoughtful kind nature stood out in his life. He loved his family. His blue eyes lit up when he talked about them. I visited him in the hospital. He was considerate of others even then with him very sick. May memories and love help you along the way in this difficult time. My love to you all.

  7. May the love and warmth of God’s touch comfort you all. Rest in peace Mr. Doyle Reeves you are missed by many but not forgotten. You’ve shone your light to many lives you’ve touched. May God rest your soul. To the Reeves family and friends may god comfort you. Tears are silent prayers to god, and even though there are many many shed, he is home in heaven where he will never get tired. He can run and run forever if he wanted. Funerals are just a way to put the flesh to rest, but his soul went home. This is his home going as my evangelical friend mr. George wright would say. Amen walls. Mr. Doyle Reeves, fly high sir. Rest high on that mountain, cause you made it home!

  8. Rest high on that mountain you’ve made it home! To the family, i am sorry to hear. May god bless you all and comfort you in this time. This is his home going.
