Robert David Reeser

The light has gone from my world – my husband Robert David Reeser(64) of Fayetteville, NC, passed away on June 10, 2023 after a heroic battle with cancer. He faced his final days with the strength and humor he was so well known for. He was surrounded by family and friends as
he peacefully slipped away and we are heartbroken to lose him. He was a beloved father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
David was born on February 17, 1959 to the late Peggy Joyce Reeser and Robert Junior Reeser in Greenville, SC. He grew up in Fayetteville, NC, a city he loved and never left. He graduated from Seventy-First High School in 1978. David went on to make a career in the pest control industry with Arrow Pest Control where he loyally served nearly 40 years. He was well known for his professionalism and exceptional customer service. David was active in community engagement and a champion for his neighborhood, Massey Hill.
In 1984, David met the love of his life Alfreda Lee Chason, and they wed on October 17, 1987. Together they raised their children, Milton Wesley Jackson III (Jay) and Amber Cherise Jackson.
David was a simple man had an adventurous spirit that led him to walk a little on the wild side. He spent his time with family and friends traveling and attending live music concerts. He enjoyed jet skiing and
four wheeling. David loved his cats. You could always find David working in the yard and around the pool, maintaining his "paradise in the hood" and "compound". He will be dearly missed and always
remembered.
