Kevin Reynolds Obituary

Kevin Emile Reynolds, born on December 4, 1965, passed away peacefully at his home in Metairie on Saturday, December 31, 2016. He was the dear son of Lou and Marilyn Reynolds and father of Keely, Katherine, and Ross Reynolds. He is survived by two brothers Lou Reynolds, Jr. (Cindi) and Michael Reynolds (Brigid), five nieces and nephews and one great niece. At his best, Kevin experienced many periods of success, during which he was fully himself-a kind, charming and charismatic man. Kevin graduated from Archbishop Rummel High School and the University of Phoenix. The family would like to express gratitude for all the kindness and love shown to us during this difficult time. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a Memorial Mass in Kevin's honor on Monday, January 9, 2017 at 12:30 pm from St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church, 6425 W. Metairie. Donations may be made in Kevin's name to St. Michael's Special School, 1522 Chippewa St., New Orleans, La. 70130. Arrangements by Tharp-Sontheimer-Tharp, 1600 N. Causeway Blvd. Information 504-835-2341. Condolences may be expressed online at www.tharpsontheimerfh.com.

I still can't wrap my head around this. I can't believe your gone. You'll never be forgotten my friend. I'll never forget all the great times we shared together as brothers playing at Delgado. I'll always remember having trouble on the mound and you'd call time- come out to me and say something totally off the wall. You were one of a kind for sure! You'll be my catcher again one day. Rest easy my friend, until I see you again.

The last time I saw Kevin I was working a trade show at the convention center. I was in the middle of a presentation to a new customer. His back was facing the aisle. Kevin shows up out of nowhere and started doing bodybuilding poses where only I could see. I had to excuse myself from the customer to get a chance to stop laughing. Typical Kevin, it was hilarious. RIP BROTHER. My condolences to the family.

Ms. Marilyn, Mr. Lou, Mike, Brigid and the entire Reynolds Family:

My daily thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time of sorrow. I have such wonderful memories of Kevin. I met him many years ago at the New Orleans Floral Trail Pageant when my daughter, Megan, was a Maid and Precious Keely was a little princess. He was such a hoot and so full of life. Whenever I would see him he would make me laugh. He has left all of you with many wonderful memories that you will hold in your hearts forever. He will also be remembered for his million dollar smile that would light up any room. I know he is now resting in peace.

With deepest sympathy,

Maria Ovella Siebenkittel

We will continue to pray for your family. -St. Michael Special School
