John Reems, age 80, of Houston, Texas, died at home on 10/03/24 after an extended illness.
He was born in the Phoenix, Arizona area to George and Dovie Reems. He grew up on the family farm surrounded by family and friends and was an adventurous soul. He attended Peoria High School, Grand Canyon College and Arizona State University. He worked in the oil and gas industry throughout his career and he and his immediate family moved about the country. He enjoyed fishing and camping, but he was happiest at home with his family. He retired in 2003 in the Houston area.
He was preceded in death by his son, Shawn, and granddaughter Sydney. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Terry, his daughters Kelly and Aron, grandson Garrett, his century old mother, Dovie, and four sisters, Shirley, Joanne, Patty, Betty, and extended family.
A celebration of his life will be scheduled for a future date.
