John Paul Reilly Obituary
Jul 14, 1939 - Dec 12, 2025
A bright light ended with the passing of John Reilly on December 12th, 2025. John was born in Spokane, Washington, on July 14th, 1939, to Francis "Tuffy" and Margaret Reilly. John worked for Kaiser Aluminum for 35 years, starting out in the pot rooms and finishing as foreman of the Rodding Room. He went to Anglesly North Wales for 3 years to keep that plant running. John was an avid hunter, fisherman, and loved boating and camping with his wife, Carleen, and family. John has been in the Dukes Auto Club for 26 years and has won many trophies for his "48" Chevy.
John was preceded in death by his twin sister Judy Hager, and is survived by his wife of 25 years Carleen; his sister Kathy Imholt; brother Butch Reilly; his daughters Bridget, Sue, Tammy (Kevin); sons John (Chip, Denise), Jim (Donna), and Aaron (Christie); stepson Kurt; and many nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A Mass will be held at Assumption Church, 3624 W. Indian Trail, at 11 a.m., Friday, January 30th.
