Reece and I grew up together. We are cousins. Our moms worked together most of our childhood years. This is a very heartbreaking day for me. Reece and I were only 7 months apart. This pic is his senior pic. It seems like ages ago. Unfortunately due to much family feuding and heartbreak Reece and I havent seen him since our grandmother and grandfathers passing abt 6 yrs ago. I was in Appleton and Oshkosh last month for work. I didnt even know he lived in the area. I wish that I would have. He was a great person. And was always searching for where he fit in life and for love and acceptance. I will always remember Reece with fondness. You never imagine when ur children that life doesnt go on forever. May god rest your soul Reece. And u will forever be in our hearts. You are Walking with Jesus now. Love always and forever,

Reece was so sweet he knew just when you needed a pick me up. At least on the city bus he did. That's how I got to know him was from ridding the city bus here in EC. He also worked at Hardee's with one of my little sister's but on the bus before we knew his name we called him "Baby blue" because of his wonderful eye's. This came as a big shock to my family and I as even my Mom knew him and liked him. May you Rest In Peace Reece!

Reece was a great friend since like 1992. He was always a party animal but would also love to babysit my newborn daughter Brittany. Although we had not spoken for some time we did write one another. We had planned to go back to our cabin in Minnesota this summer. I wish we still could. You where the first in the "Brotherhood" group of friends that we started in college. Soda, Shaggy, Randy, Dave, Whallie, Bret, Jay and I will not be the same without you brother. Be at peace Brother. Corey-
