Kevin Reim Obituary
A lifelong resident and alum of Palmer High School, Kevin pursued his patriotic duty by serving in the United States Navy, where he was stationed in San Diego and Virginia.
Kevin's professional journey saw him at Wing Memorial Hospital, where he contributed his skills in the kitchen. Before that, he was employed at American Saw in East Longmeadow and Old Time Lawn and Landscaping.
A man of varied interests, Kevin found great joy in fishing and spending time in nature. His fondness for the outdoors was reflected in his vibrant garden filled with sunflowers. His enthusiasm carried over to sports as a passionate fan of the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 5:00-7:00pm at the Beers & Story Palmer Funeral Home. Military honors will be rendered at 6:45pm. Burial will be at the convenience of the family. He will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Kevin was my cousin, 6 months older than me, and we grew up together along with his brothers and sister, my sister, and lived one house apart, separated by my grandparents' home, so we all were in the thick of things together a lot. He loved his bugs when we were little and spent a lot of times outdoors studying them and shared his new found knowledge with me, showing his specimens sometimes too closely, and loved to go fishing too. Kevin really liked to watch the 3 Stooges with his brothers and act out some of their moves with Ricky as his sidekick. When I was in the hospital, Kevin would always stop in even if he was not bringing my dinner, and the people that brought me meals would speak highly of him as a worker and person when I told him he was my cousin. He was a soft spoken, sweet and gentle soul, and beautiful as the sunflowers he loved to grow and share with others, and I will miss him and am so very grateful for the time we shared together, with much Love, Lisa Jangrow.

Kevin was my sweet older cousin. I remember many good times in Palmer and Three Rivers when I was very young and he was a teenager.
As a man, Kevin was one of the sweetest around. His love for his Navy buddies was ever present, his dedication to his family always present. He'll be missed, I'll miss his long bearded sunflower flowers on Facebook.
RIP Kev
