The Beltz family was very sorry to hear about Chris's passing.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to Chris at my cousin Scott's wedding in 2008. I never really had many chances to talk with him as I did that night and it was very nice. Someone took a picture of us together and I have it on my laptop within my screensavers. This photo will pop-up occasionally. Now to me it is a lasting memory of a beautiful and quiet man that I got to enjoy sitting next to.
All of us are thinking of you and your family. You are in our prayers always and we are here for you always. Lots of love to you, Kim/Sis

I was sad to hear today that Mr. Reeves had passed away. The whole family, including Mr. Reeves, were always very nice to me. I will remember our Tuesday night basketball games at his house. Good times.

Having Chis,Colleen and family as our neighbors years ago gave us some fun memories. When you think of a good husband and family man you think of Chris Reeves. Very sorry to hear that Chris Reeves has passed away.
God Bless,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I remember how much Mr. Reeves enjoyed watching sports on television and the Cubs on WBN.
