Charlie Reeves was born on Aug. 12, 1939 and passed away on Sept. 12, 2011.

He is survived by his wife, Bonnie; and grandson Ernie Ridley of the home; brother, Clifford Reeves; Sons: Michael, Andrew and Loren; Daughters: Shelley and Christine; 11 grandchildren and one great grandchild; nephews and nieces; countless friends.

Charlie served in the U.S. Navy. He and Bonnie brought the first dollar store to the area in 1996. He was always giving treats to the kids. And was famous for his stories he shared with everyone. He helped many over the years, and was part of a group that fed over 100 people on Thanksgiving at the Mt. Hull Fire Department. He helped to collect toys, wrapped and delivered them at Christmas.

Before he left us, he accepted the Lord, and reassured us we would be together again. He loved all his family deeply. Thank you for your service in the Navy and for the many years of love and memories. You are missed.

A military service will be held at the Tonasket Cemetery, Sunday, Aug. 12 at 11 a.m.
