When I was growing up I was just another snot-nose Reeder kid. I never knew Jesse well. He was one of the "Big Guys" I looked up to when I began High School at Dugway. It's always sad to hear that someone you knew once is gone, but the memories and the people left behind are an important part of their lives--their history--their legacy. Be well and never forget.

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares".

Henri Nouwen



Jesse was a friend who cared.

Linda and Family,

I was shocked when I saw Jess' obituary in the paper. I had no idea he had cancer. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the fun times we had working together at NWP and I know how much you loved Jess and that you had great Mesquite plans for the future. May your family and your memories sustain you in the days to come. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

Linda:



We were shocked and saddened to hear of Jesse' passing. We were hoping that you and Jesse had come through the worst of his illness and that the future held a positive outlook. What a shock it must have been. The last time I saw Jesse was at Northwest Pipeline the day you retired. The limo was waiting at the entrance of Northwest, Jesse was holding balloons and your wonderful family was anxiously waiting to greet you as you came out the door. Linda, I want you to know how much I enjoyed working with you at Northwest and that I think of you often.

My thought are with you and your family. I worked at First Security with Jess and retired in Sept 2000. He was friends with everyone at First Security. I have good memories of joking with Jess. I

was shocked to see that he had passed away. The world will miss a

good man.

I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am about Jesse. It came as such a shock to all of us that worked with him. He was such a sweet man. The kind of person you can't help but like. We are really going to miss him at work. He touched a lot of people he worked with. I'm grateful that I had the chance to know him.

Linda and family,

Such a shock...I know the pain that comes from a loved one with cancer. It can have a terriable effect on family. Just remember all the good times and all the many memories. I can't tell you that time will heal because I don't believe that. Its soon been 18 years since I was left alone and I still feel sometimes that it was yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Hold on to the kids and grandkids and remember all the people that are thinking of you and love you. If you need to talk I'm real close so do not think twice about calling. Love you and believe me I'm thinking of you.

Jerry, Dennis, and Laura. So sorry to see the loss of your brother. When I was a little girl at the Fox Area Trailer Park (in Dugway), Jesse was one of the "big kids". What a fun place it was to grow up. Hugs to all of you, from one of the Reeder kids.

It has been along time since I have seen or talked to your family,I was reading the paper this morning and came across Jesses obituary. I just want to tell you how sorry I am to hear about your loss. I lost my dad in August and I know the sorrow and void you feel in your life. My daughter also battled cancer, so I know the effects cancer can have on a family. Please know you are all in our prayers at this difficult time. It made me smile to read about all the grandkids he has and how much joy they brought to him. Jesse is a man after my own heart, I love slot machines, so much that we have one in our basement. I will play it today in his honor!! Know how sorry we are for your loss, our familys prayers are with you.
