Michael REYNOLDS Obituary

Michael Patrick Reynolds (49) formerly of Spokane, Washington went to spend eternity with our Lord Monday, March 14, 2022, in Dallas, TX. Michael was born to John & Shirley (Lesmeister) Reynolds on Wednesday, May 31, 1972, in Spokane, Washington. Michael grew up on the South Hill with his three older siblings, John "Jack" (Stacy) Reynolds Jr., Bruce Reynolds & Cheryl Reynolds, where he attended Hutton, Sacajawea and graduated from Lewis and Clark High School, Class of 1990. Shortly after graduating, he joined the US Army and was stationed at multiple bases, including Camp Stanton in South Korea where he met his wife, In-Hye in 1993. Michael fell in love and after his service in the Army, he returned to Korea for the love of his life. They were married on July 25, 1995, and after living in Korea for a few years, they moved back to Spokane in 1997. Michael and In-Hye had two sons, Patrick, born in 1997, and Joshua, born in 2001. Michael worked in retail and management for many companies over the years such as Bose, Huppin's, Circuit City, Best Buy, Office Max, Petco, Empire Today, and Designer Shoe Warehouse where he climbed the corporate ladder. Michael was known for his hard work and dedication and won many trips as a top salesman. When he worked at Huppin's, right before Thanksgiving, he could be seen in a Pilgrim outfit delivering Thanksgiving meals to families in need. He led by example and was a great role model for those around him. Michael and his family moved to Lynnwood, Washington for a promotion in the summer of 2013 where they would live and serve the community for seven years. Michael was known for his generosity and his love for Jesus. Michael loved serving the Lord and when he was busy at work, he supported In-Hye in her service. After raising their family, Michael and In-Hye moved to Lewisville, Texas in 2020, where he would enjoy life as a true Texan. Everything's bigger in Texas and Michael had the biggest and most generous heart, so it is only fitting that he would spend his last days living in such a grand place where his love for people and life could shine for all to see. He was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Reynolds. Michael is survived by his wife of 26 years, In-Hye Grace Reynolds, his sons, Patrick Reynolds and Joshua Reynolds, his father, John Joseph Reynolds, his siblings and many nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends. Even the nurses in ICU would be seen lovingly rubbing his arms, holding his hand and talking to him as a friend. Everyone LOVES Michael and he will be deeply missed. Michael's Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, March 26th at 1:00pm at Korean Presbyterian Church, 1727 E Pacific Ave., Spokane, Washington.

My heart goes out to the Reynolds family at this time. Losing a child is not the natural order of life! I knew Mike through Cheryl. She and I were close friends in junior high school. I spent a lot of time at their home. Mike was the nicest little brother. Even after Cheryl moved to Cali, he would always say hello thru-out our high school days! Please accept my sincere condolences, to the entire Reynolds family! Sending loving thoughts your way, Erika

In-Hye. It came as a great shock to us to hear of Mikes passing. No words can express the grief one feels at the passing of a loved one, especially someone as special as Mike. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So, so sorry for your loss.
