On November 12, 1972, in Indianapolis, IN, a beautiful soul named Joseph "Dan" Daniel Reeves was born to Jon William and Joann Reeves. With his passing on August 17, 2023, we remember a man whose heart was as generous as his spirit was kind.
Dan was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He had an undeniable love for video games, and his Xbox was his faithful companion. Racing games were a particular favorite, and he reveled in the thrill of virtual competition. He cherished those moments when he could immerse himself in these digital adventures.
Food held a special place in Dan's heart. His appreciation for delicious meals was evident to all who knew him. His enthusiasm for dining was unmatched, and he was always ready to savor the next culinary delight that crossed his path.
One could never overlook the striking beauty of Dan's eyes, windows to a soul filled with warmth and gentleness. His chivalrous nature was unmistakable – he was the gentleman who made sure to open every door for his beloved wife, Linda, showing his deep respect and love.
Family was the cornerstone of Dan's world. As a husband, father, and grandfather, he was a shining example of love and devotion. To Linda, he was an awesome, wonderful, and amazing partner. His pride swelled when Julie graduated, a testament to his unwavering support for his children's accomplishments. Time spent with Nathaniel was treasured, and their bond was unbreakable. Above all, Dan adored his grandchildren, and he seized every opportunity to bask in their laughter and love.
Dan's heart was big enough to encompass everyone he met. Once he considered you family, you were family. He treated others with the kindness and affection that made you feel cherished and welcomed into his world.
Dan leaves behind cherished memories and a legacy of love. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda, and their children, Barbara, Jennifer (Fred), Amanda (Asrie), Robert, Julie, and Nathaniel. His mother, Joann Reeves, and his sisters, Teresa, Emily, and Mary, mourn his passing, their hearts heavy with grief. His mother-in-law, Shelia Johnson, and best friends, Dustin and Mark, hold his memory close, along with his 14 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
Dan's memory is further carried by many nieces and nephews, including Matthew, with whom he shared a special bond. He is preceded in passing by his father, Jon Reeves, and his father-in-law, Ted Johnson.
In remembrance of Dan, let us celebrate a life that radiated love and embraced the joys of existence. His memory lives on in our hearts, a testament to the enduring power of love and family. May he rest in eternal peace.
