Elder Rex C. Reeve

Dear Becky,

I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing, and even sorrier when I realized how long it's been since I've seen your family. Our thoughts are with you...

Our sympathies go out to the Reeve family. We first met Elder Reeve when he was driving Becky to Provo for her workout with Leighton. He was always so cheerful and genuinely happy to see us. Later when we helped edit and mail out the Warriors newsletter Elder Reeve would often bring the copies to our house. My mother always enjoyed their brief but uplifting conversations. He knew what it meant to be a caregiver and always made my mother feel appreciated. What an inspiring man he was.

I remember years ago I had the opportunity to introduce Brother Rex C. Reeve at a BYU fireside. I incorrectly called him "Elder Rex Reed" (a comedian). I was sorely embarrased but he was very gracious.

Dear Becky and all the Reeve Family,

We will always remember warmly and gratefully appreciate the extraordinary goodness of Elder Reeve, as a Mission President with whom we share treasured memories, as the friend who sealed our marriage and as the Temple Presidency counselor whose earnest encouragement to enjoy the blessings of the Temple left no dry eyes in our Stake Conference. May the comfort and peace of heaven be with you at this time of parting until you are reunited.

Dearest Becky and Family,
I like you am grieved at the loss of your father but am bouyed up by the realization that he has additional work to do where he has gone.I served under his guidance as a missionary over 25 years ago and still retain many of the skills and attributes that he enbued to me.He was so influential in my life by his example and spirit that I named a son after him to remind me of all that he stood for and for what virtues that I should aspire. Please likewise know of...

Dear Becky and Reeve family, President and Sister Reeve had a profound influence on my life as a young missionary almost 30 years ago. I cannot think of many who have made such a difference in my life. "Thanks for being great."

Dear Rex, Barbara & Family,
We were saddened to read of the death of your Dad. We still have the sweet letter of comfort he sent us when our first child died 43 yrs ago. What a special man he is. We are sure the wonderful memories you have of him will help to comfort you until you meet again. May the Lord also comfort & bless you & your family.
Much Love,

Beloved Reeve Family:
Elder Reeve was greatly admired by our family and Church members in the Cumorah, New York area. His friendship and the purity and spirituality of his teachings are very much cherished and will be long remembered.

Dear Family and especially Becky,
It has been a difficult month for me as I am sure it is for you as my mother passed away on the 8th. President Reeve was like a father to me. He was and is one of the best men I have ever known. Hope to see you all at the funeral.
