Bio
Fort Worth - Kenneth (Ken) Ray Reaves, 85, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and faithful friend recently passed into the Lord Jesus' eternal presence at 3:55 a.m. Thursday, January 23rd, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Kenneth Reaves' name to the S.P.C.A. of Texas. "A life well lived is a life worthy of imitation". Kenneth (Ken) was born on Oct. 10, 1934 in McKinney to the late James Oscar Reaves and Grace Cottle Reaves. Being raised as the 5th of 6 children, through the modeling of his father, he learned well what it meant to love others as you would love yourself. In short, Ken loved everyone in his life well. After graduating Northside High School in Fort Worth in 1953, he then proudly served in the Air Force. It was at this time that Ken met and married the love of his life, Paula Jean Holveck Reaves. Ken served as a Master Mason, Tarrant Lodge No. 942, and he later became a Shriner. Whether in the business world, as a meat industry executive, at the Kimbell corporation and then later with W.R. Grace/Sealed-Air Corporation, or in meeting the average "man on the street", Ken treated everyone with high levels of respect. Ken is survived and treasured in memory by his cherished wife of 64 years, Paula Jean Holveck Reaves; sons, Mike Reaves and wife, Terri, David Reaves and wife, Sherry; daughters, Rhonda Reaves Albright and husband, Spencer IV, Michelle Reaves Hefner and husband, Steve. Ken was a proud grandfather of 8: Rachael (Landon) and Stephanie Reaves, Lauren (Tyler) and Ally Reaves, Toni and Spencer V (Chelsea) Albright, Jackson and Hudson Hefner; 2 great-grandchildren, Oliver and Brooks.
