Edward A. Reese II

Edward  A. Reese II, age 68, of  Carrollton, Ohio, died early Monday morning November 9, 2020 in his residence surrounded by his family.

He was born December 14, 1951 in Canton, Ohio and was the son of  the late Edward Allan and Caroline Anna Reichman Reese.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Caroline A. Reese Colley and a brother, Parker Reese.

Ed retired in 2008 as a die maker for the Ford Motor Company in Walton, Hills, Ohio after 36 1/2 years of service.  Following his retirement, he established Ed's Garage, a fix-it shop that he operated out of the garage at his home.  During his leisure hours, Ed's favorite recreation was fishing. Whether on his boat at Atwood Lake, Leesville Lake,  Lake Erie, or even a few trips to Canada, it was the most pleasurable way he found to spend his time.  Following retirement, he and his friends would often gather in his garage to socialize or to work on various repair projects. He enjoyed spending time with his family around his rural home.  He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be missed by his family.  

He is survived by his loving wife Darnell R. Malone Reese, whom he married August 30, 1997, his three children  Brian (Jacinta) Reese of Monroe, Michigan, Samantha (Larry) Hull  and James (Lyndsie) Hull, both of Carrollton, his five siblings Mrs. Nancy (Ron) Logan of Dellroy, OH,  John (Jeri) Reese and Sandy Koontz, both of Canton, OH,  Mrs.Diana (Gary) Rhoades of East Sparta, OH,  and Mrs. Lynda (Craig) Herbert of Navarre, OH and five grandchildren.
