Dennis Reeves Obituary
Dennis Harold Reeves, age 76, of Diamondhead, passed away on, Wednesday, December 18, 2024, in Gulfport.
Dennis retired from A T & T as a computer engineer in 2000. During his retirement, he was able to spend his time focused on his love of golf. His competitive spirit in sports, that he developed in his younger years, helped him overcome the medical battles that he faced over the past few years. He was an amazing woodworker and craftsman, skilled in constructing all sorts of projects. If he could envision it, he could build it.
He is survived by his spouse, Marcy Reeves, son Keith (Hannah) Reeves, stepsons, Jesse (Samantha) Walton and Justin (Crystal) Walton and three grandchildren, Noah, Hayden and Blaire Walton, sisters, Ruth Sykes and Ann McMorris, and special nephew, James (Nell) Reeves along with numerous other nieces and nephews.
Dennis is preceded in death by his parents, Marvin Sr. and Zelma Reeves, his brothers, Nathan Pete Reeves and Marvin Reeves, Jr. and sister, Mary Louise Font.
