Thomas Reese, Jr

CUYAHOGA FALLS - Thomas James Reese Jr., 60, passed away March 24, 2016.

T.J. was born April 25, 1955 in Cuyahoga Falls where he attended Immaculate Heart of Mary school, and befriended classmates that became lifelong friends.

After high school, he worked for his father at T.J. Reese, Inc, a business he eventually owned.

T.J. was a beloved son, brother, father and friend. Funny and smart, he was an engaging storyteller, always ready to laugh and joke. He enjoyed the company of his close circle of friends and family, was a dependable friend, and never met a stranger. T.J. enjoyed playing golf and, in his younger years, could be found on the course more weekends than not. He also enjoyed blues music, biography and history books, movies, comedy, and treating his daughters whom he treasured.

His lighthearted smile and genuine compassion for others will be greatly missed by those who loved him.

He is survived by his daughters, Katie (Tim) Focht and Hannah Reese; grandson, Sebastian; sisters, Cassie Reese and Liz (Russ) Morgan.
