Howard Kermit Reese, 74, of Brevard, passed away at his home on Tuesday, November 21, 2017. He was the son of the late Kermit Walter Reese and Sallie Clark Reese.

Howard was an active member of East Fork Baptist Church where he taught Sunday School and helped with the construction of the church. He was an avid fisherman and was often found around the lakes of Connestee. When not fishing, he enjoyed his quest for fitness and was a participant in the senior games. He was a devoted fan to Rosman High School athletics and especially enjoyed supporting his grandchildren’s teams. He had a heart of gold and nothing brought him more joy than talking about his family. He will be missed by many people who were touched by his kindness and love of life.
