REEVES, Brian Eugene died on March 5, 2026, from a tragic traffic accident. He was only 52 years old. The family is deeply saddened by his passing. He was born August 13, 1973, in Hamilton, Ohio.

Brian moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 1983 when he was 10 years old. He attended St. Athanasius Catholic School and then was in the last graduating class of the old Male High School. After graduation, he joined the Kentucky Air National Guard to help pay for his college but also to serve his country. He graduated from the University of Louisville with a degree in Communications. He worked for Humana in Louisville for many years.

Over the last few years, Brian has been somewhat of a free spirit and had his struggles but now he is free from demons that haunted him.

He was predeceased by his father, George (Mike) Reeves and several aunts and uncles.

He will be missed by his mother and stepfather Maggie Green (Jerry), his brother Mike Reeves , and stepsister Kelli Cleaves.

A Christian burial will be held at a later date.
