Just heard of Dan's passing. So sorry to hear about that. I always enjoyed visiting with Dan when he came into HyVee - it made my day to see him & really missed him when I changed stores. Thoughts & prayers to the entire family.

I wanted to tell you I was so sorry to hear of Dan's passing! He was such a kind, sweet, gentle man,

II met him thru Carole Cook a
t a Humana presentation. I had just been widowed (11 years ago) and you lived just a couple blocks from my home. Also went to Valley at that time. He told me if I needed help to let him know and I remember calling him once for something simple, but that I could not do. Have never forgotten that kindness.

My deepest condolences, Patti.

My sympathy to all of Danny's family.
Danny and I grew up together, went to Clive School and on to Valley High School. He had many friends who enjoyed his humor, athletic skill- lettered in four sports, and his kindness. He was named one of Ten Outstanding Seniors in the Class of '67.
He took a lot of teasing about those famous eyebrows. Those of us who knew him for the first two decades of his life, had a good friend. I will keep these memories and hope that you all have a million more to make you smile in the days to come.

I have known Dan and Patti Reeves for most of my life. Dan was the kindest, most genuine person I have ever met. He would always greet my brother and I with a huge smile and big hug. When Dan asked you how you were, he really cared and listened to your answer. The world could use more men like Dan Reeves. It is with deep sorrow I hear of his passing. My prayers are with the Reeves Family. May the lord provide you comfort during this difficult time.
