Publish in a newspaper

Our beloved son, Alex, age 22, left this earth unexpectedly to go to his heavenly home on May 5, 2025. Born on July 27, 2002, in Clearwater, Florida, Alex was the son of Karen and Phil Reams. He graduated from Clinton High School in 2021 and worked as a technician at Jiffy Lube in Farragut. Alex was a vibrant and adventurous soul, passionate about fast cars, getting his hands dirty repairing cars, and anything related to them. He was a reliable friend, always ready to lend a helping hand. His quick wit and infectious smile brought joy to everyone he met. Alex was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Vernon and Lucille Fritz, and his paternal grandparents, Lester and Virgie Reams. He is survived by his parents, Phil and Karen Reams, and numerous cousins on both sides of the family. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Second Baptist Church (777 Public Safety Lane, Clinton, TN, 37716) on Sunday, June 8, 2025. Receiving of friends will begin at 2:00 PM, with the service starting at 3:00 p.m. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Alexander, please visit our Tree Store.
