WOW!!!! Not sure what to even say, this news caught me by such surprise and is still so surreal to me to be able to even fathom. I know he will be missed by many people in this world simply because he was a very caring and loving man. Although, i knew him better than most of his students at Vidor High School, and not exactly for the all of the right reasons. Unfortunately, i had to see him quite a bit when i was in school but i will say that by the end of my school days, he seemed to be more of a friend and a mentor to me than my principal. He is definitely a man that has made a huge impact on my life after school. Mr Reeves was both: a very respectful man as well as a respectable man that actually cared about the well being of his students, I would honestly say that he is one of the VERY FEW authorities that was not there just for a paycheck. He always carried himself with such a lively and upbeat demeanor, who would have ever thought something like this would've/could've ever happened. my condolences go out to his family and friends, he will be greatly missed by many. This man will DEFINITELY never be forgotten by me.
R.I.P. Mr. Dennis Reeves
