Arthur Olin Reinhardt, Jr., age 81, of Gonzales, Texas, passed away peacefully on September 5, 2025. He was born on July 10, 1944, in El Paso, Texas, to the late Arthur Olin Reinhardt, Sr. and Alla Lee Jorgensen Reinhardt.

Arthur dedicated 40 years of his life to the El Paso Electric Company, where he worked faithfully and built lasting friendships. He was a man of quiet strength, steady devotion, and unwavering commitment to his family and his work.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Gerry Ann Reinhardt; his daughters, Leigh Ann Pirkle (Brian) and Kristen D'rae Ratliff (William). He was a proud grandfather to Samantha Camarillo (Eric) Karson McCall (Brian), and William L. Ratliff III (Kelsey) and a cherished great-grandfather to Sophia Grace DeLeon, Eric Grayson Camarillo, William L. Ratliff IV "Ford," and Sutton Rose McCall.

Arthur's greatest joy was his family. He delighted in watching his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow, and his legacy will continue to live on in each of them.

Graveside services will be held at a later date to honor and celebrate his life. Friends may leave their condolences to the family by visiting www.seydlerhillfuneralhome.com.
