John Wayne Reynolds

We're given many gifts as we go through life. Some we're allowed to enjoy for a long time, others only briefly. But each gift has the power to change us, enrich us, to make us better people. John was a gift to each of us in different ways. Husband, father, son, brother, friend. In life he taught us to live each day as if it was your last. Follow your dreams and live in the moment.
In death he has taught us that each day is a gift. In the blink of an eye it could be gone. Live...

John was a "people person" he simply loved people. I can remember when I first met him...which was over the phone. He just had that genuine, curiosity about him. You just felt like he cared about you. So rare to find that quality. I watched as he lived in TN and ended up making many friends. He supported the Chamber of Commerce, invited the community to his campground for events..he was a community person. What also impressed me was his work ethic, John really worked hard. I had seen...

Big John, A rough exterior wrapped around a big teddy bear. John will be missed but not forgotten. John always had the best booze, cheapest cigars and the hunger to want to have fun (All Johns are born with this talent). Instead of grief, rejoice. Remember what John had brought with him everywhere he went ...... life. That is what we celebrate, his life and how many lives he touched while he was here. So here is a shot of tequila and a cigar for you, keep an eye on us John, as we...

We had only met John this summer, but felt as if we had known each other for a lifetime. He had a special way of making folks feel like comfortable old friends. We became friends quickly, with a wonderful golden summer full of "pool days". Any time we came to the pool John would stop everything and come over to chat a while. He had a touch for making everyone feel welcome. Whenever we were at the pool late, John insisted we stay for supper. He was so gracious and kind. And his cooking was...

In John’s own special way, we all knew of his care, concern, and passion for what he did and how he did them. He was very conscientious, hard working, and committed. He was always willing to place other people’s needs above his own. That was so evident when he came along side me and helped me with my deck. I can remember John going out of his way to offer up his guidance and support. What John really gave me was friendship, encouragement, and confidence:
• Friendship in the way he...

Kay and Kids, John was a great friend! It feels like we've know him forever. He was always there anytime we needed to talk or just call to say Hi. He was a great influence to many who met him. I hope everyone can learn from him. He set a great example. He will surely be missed. But we still have our memories of great times we've had together. He made it to heaven before us. He's the lucky one.

I don't think I ever met anyone as easy-going and laid-back as John was. No matter what was going on, he was always smiling. He was one of my favorite guys to talk to at work. He was just a great guy. Keep smiling John! We all miss you!

When someone close to us
is taken from us suddenly,
the pain sometimes seems
more than we can bear.
And yet, with time, our memories
grow more precious,
and we come to realize
that those we've loved
live on within our hearts.
