Thomas Reeb Obituary
On Sunday, June 28, 2020, Thomas Andrew Reeb, loving husband and father, passed away at the age of 67.
Tom was born on June 4, 1953 in Detroit, MI. He had brief residences in Chicago, IL and Murfreesboro, AR, but spent the majority of his life in Tucson, AZ. He graduated from Palo Verde High School & The University of Arizona with a B.S. in Agricultural Business. While he was at the U of A, he made lifelong friendships with his Fiji Brothers (Phi Gamma Delta).
He was passionate about his career as a Real Estate Appraiser and was the proud owner of his own appraisal business for over 35 years. During that time, he mentored dozens of future appraisers, and took pride in helping others succeed.
On August 28, 1993, he married Laura Fail. They raised four daughters, Melanie, Margo, Macy and McKenna.
Tom had a positive outlook on life and always looked at "the glass half-full". He had an infectious laugh and brought a smile to all that knew him. Tom never had an unkind word to say about anyone.
He is survived by his wife, Laura, and his four daughters and six grandchildren. Also survived by his sister Mary Culin, her husband Frank, and their children, Bubba Culin and Jenny Fletcher. Also, his aunts, Marianne Brooker and Jackie McGill, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins that he loved.

Tom was in my 3rd grade class at Lizzie Brown Elementary School in Tucson. I fondly remember him with a sense of humor and a big heart. I am sad to hear of his passing.

I had very good memories of Tom Reeb and his loving sister and his dear Mom when I was just a college student and Gamma Phi Beta college student at University of Arizona. Im sorry to read the paper while I was in Tucson visiting my parents and they commented how special Tom was as a young man. I knew Tom would grow up to be very special and he was always funny and intelligent! Mary his sister was very close to Tom and I recall Mary being in Chi Omega as was my mother in Chi Omega.
When Mary gave birth to her beautiful baby boy and later a beautiful girl, I recall Tom being over the moon a proud uncle and it is special that his nephew and niece loved him so as Tom grew from college young man to a loving husband and father. May God bless all Toms family, children and grandchildren and I know he will be dearly missed.
Tom was very well liked by his Figi brothers and was a good friend to all.
Most important in college he always focused on spending time with his immediate family and helping out whenever asked!
