Donald Reese Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 3, 2023.


Donald (Don) Reese passed away peacefully on December 24, 2022 at the age of 87 at Cascade Hospital. 


Don was born in St. Vincent Minnesota on September 15, 1935. He had fond memories and many stories about life in Minnesota. He lived in Minnesota until joining the Navy. While in the Navy he met his wife, Darlene and they married in 1956. They settled down in Getchel Washington where they raised two children, Rene & Tony.


Don worked at Scott Papermill in Everett and was also a volunteer firefighter. He enjoyed camping, wood working, dancing, playing music, and most of all spending time with his family – mostly his great grandchildren.


He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Darlene Reese; daughter Rene & her husband JD Deaver; grandson James & wife Amy; grandson Tony Jr & wife Sarah; and 5 great grandchildren. 


He was predeceased by his son Tony Reese Sr.


Don will be laid to rest in the Anderson Stanwood cemetery. There will be no services held.

My condolences to the Reece family especially Darlene and Rene. As I'm gathering family pic's due to my mom's (Alene Gohr) passing, I've come cross many pic's of the fun memories our families had together. I truly miss those times.
