Guy Reese Obituary

Reese, Guy P. On November 22, 2010, Guy Price Reese passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on September 22, 1939 to Guy M. and Bennie Ruth Reese in Dallas, Texas. Guy graduated from South Oak Cliff High School in 1958 and from Southern Methodist University with a B.A. Degree in Real Estate in 1963. In the mid 1960s, Guy played professional football for the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Colts and Atlanta Fal-cons. Guy was in the real estate appraisal profession for over 30 years. Although football and his profession were a big part of his life, these were in no way what defined him. His stature was only surpassed by the size of his heart. He was a gentle giant, respected and admired by all those whose lives he touched. He will be missed immensely. Proceeded in death by his parents and brother, he is survived by his wife Linda Redfearn Reese. He is also survived by his son Kendall Reese and wife Donna, his daughter Rebecca Reese Pilia and husband Francesco, and stepsons Tim and Todd Redfearn and his wife Stephanie, his grandchildren Christian and Catherine Reese and Christopher Redfearn. A memorial service will be held at 1pm on Friday, December 3rd at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in the Shipp Chapel located at 9200 Inwood Road. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, P.O. Box 4486, Houston, TX 77210-4486, www.mdanderson.org/gifts.

Remembering Guy Reese: SOC FOOTBALL; Ben North, class of 57'

Drove Guy, to school every day for two years. Played football beside you for two years. We skipped school, after football was over and went rabbit hunting at my uncle's farm. Even double dated a few times. Life goes on, I miss those TIMES and YOU. Neal Coker, '57

Linda...

Love relieves all boundaries,
even those imposed by death.
Love relives in memories
brought to life by breath.
Speak of your lost loved one,
let him hear your joy and pain.
Know his soul is with you
forever to remain
a part of you in all you do,
even unto death,
for love relives in memories
brought to life by breath.

What a beautiful soul he was!
Cousin Kaye

I met Guy in 1981 when I went to work for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. We kept in touch over the years and I loved that I could always make him laugh, no matter how glum he felt. He was a kind man and I will miss him.

Guy was my friend and classmate at SOC and would always make a point to visit with me and my husband at reunions. I will miss him.

In the fall of 55, Guy and i were designated captains against Pleasant Grove. We did our coin flip thing and went back into the fieldhouse. Unbeknownst to us the team had come onto the field. No crowd noise because hardly anyone was there. He and I got more cheers than when the team came out. Guy and I had on three colors that night. Our usual gold and white plus our red faces.
So long pardner.

In 1958, at SOC, I was a skinney, scared, preachers kid with thick glasses. Guy Reese was a sports hero. He was a friend, who treated me with gentle acceptance and gave me confidence, even when we were just "guys." SOC 58 lost a special classmate.

I loved Guy, we were born on the same day in the same Hospital and I always felt we were separated @ birth. His grace during what was a long hard fight during his illness was overwhelming to watch. He was one of those people you really enjoy seeing and being in his company. He was one of our true "Princes" and we will miss him. Barbara Williams Sisk
