Clarence Logan Reece

Clarence "Logan" Reece, age 87, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, February 17, 2023 at his residence in Spavinaw, OK. Logan was born December 27, 1935 in Jay, Oklahoma to Sherman Basil Reece and Zenoma Miller-Reece.
Logan as he preferred, started life as the second born son out of 11 children. He was preceded in death by his parents, Sherman and Zenoma Reece; son, Jeffrey Logan Reece; his siblings, Bob Reece, Charlene Reece, JD Reece, Ted Reece, Calvin Reece, Larry Reece and Sharon Reed.
Logan was raised in the rural area of Jay and Southwest City, MO. He attended Poyner School District in Delaware, OK. After school, he entered the United States Army at the age of 19 years old. He received his high school diploma during his stint with the United States Army. He served during the Korean Conflict. Upon his military honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, Donna Jean Perdue and soon became a family man with six children, Vicki Louise Ghunaim of Sallisaw, OK, Shelly Renee' Whitson of Kuna, ID, Lori Jean Browning of Spavinaw, OK, Karen Lea Reed of Tahlequah, OK and John Reece of Anderson, MO.
Logan began his occupation in Auto Sales and Construction Equipment both succeeding in Southwest City, MO as a prominent businessman. He was a member of the Order of Masons in Southwest City, MO. He loved his "abundant" grandchildren called the "baby crush" of the mid 70's, including all of his sibling's babies, now adults with grown children. Logan's favorite food was catfish and chicken thighs and was indulged to his content in his older years in life. Logan was a solid built 6'1, 200pds and very strong even until his recent illness that proceeded rapidly and unexpectedly this middle week of February 2023. He would have enjoyed his ceremony today honoring his life and especially the Grove American Legion Honor Guard and the coming together of his loved ones and friends. Logan was well liked and congenial. He was happy telling stories of his early years and family life with excellent recall. He had a beautiful singing voice and we all loved hearing him sing. We will hear his favorite gospel songs today. Putting our beloved Logan to rest is both sad and bittersweet as his love of life prevailed unto his death.
Logan is survived by his children, Vicki, Shelly, Lori, Karen and John; his 3 siblings, Bill Reece, Betty Ann Reece and Amos Edward Reece; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews cousins extended family and friends.
Logan's Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, 1:00pm, February 22, 2023 at First Baptist Church, 719 N. Main St., Southwest City, MO. 64863 with Rev. Benny Lukens officiating. Logan's service will conclude at the church with full military honors.
