Jeffrey Reynolds
Jeffrey L. Reynolds, 57, of Celina, Ohio, formerly of Fort Recovery, passed away on Saturday, July 23, 2022, at Lima Memorial Hospital.
He was born on October 28, 1964, in Portland, Indiana, to Woodrow Reynolds and Patricia (Long) Van Trees, both of Fort Recovery.
In addition to his parents, Jeff is survived by his stepmother, Della Link of Fort Recovery; his stepfather, Mark Van Trees of Fort Recovery; his sisters, Lisa Cox, Kathleen (Kevin) Reynolds-Evers, and Jennifer Hahn, all of Fort Recovery; his nieces and nephews, Ariel (Scott) Kruse and Micaiah Cox of Cincinnati, Haley Cox, Athena Evers, Elena Evers, Elisa Evers, and Ella Hahn, all of Fort Recovery; his dear aunt, Peg Long; his special cousin, Zach Champ; his group home family; and countless other extended family and friends.
Jeff lived at the Wayne Street Group Home for over 30 years, where he developed many friends. He worked for Cheryl Ann Programs in Celina and was active in the Mercer County Adult Day Services. Jeff was one-of-a-kind. His smile was infectious, his laugh was contagious, and his hugs were highly sought after. Jeff was a true pistol and was even stubborn from time to time. Jeff loved playing basketball, going swimming, and bowling, and playing the WII. He also had a love for food. M&M's were his favorite, but pizza was a close second. Jeff enjoyed taking adventures with his group home family but loved taking naps in his chair even more.
A celebration of Jeff's life will be held at 10:00 AM on Thursday, July 28, 2022, at Brockman Boeckman Funeral Home in Fort Recovery with Pastor Paul Burry and Mr. Shawn Reynolds officiating. Burial will follow in Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
Guests may visit with Jeff's family on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM and again on Thursday from 9:00 AM until 10:00 AM at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be given to the Mercer County Special Olympics.
