Here is my phone video taken on August 17, 2018 at Mt Gilead Cemetery, Bloomington, Indiana

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared Miss me, but let me go,

For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone.

It's all part of the master play A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know

Laugh at all the things we used to do

Miss me, but let me go.

Jeffrey Scott Reeves was born on April 19, 1961 in Bloomington, Indiana, the second child of Benjamin and Betty Reeves. His older sister Julie wasn't sure about having a baby brother but she figured out quickly that it was fun to play with him. Jeffrey had a younger brother Jerry with whom he shared toys and a bedroom for many years. Jeff loved to be outside, exploring Indiana, delving into the family history and making people laugh.

He was a talented actor and singer appearing in many, many shows. He was proud to be a member of Mensa with an IQ of 170 and posted a photo of himself with his Mensa card on Facebook!

Jeffrey played the clarinet and spent many hours in marching band competitions in high school. He graduated in the top 10 percent at Indiana State University with a Bachelors Degree in Geography.

He was our loved brother, son, cousin, uncle, nephew and friend. We will remember him forever.

He lived a life full of passion for theater, gardens, dogs, morel mushrooms, fighting against injustice, all things Hoosier and travel. He loved the dramatic and unconventional and often used Facebook as his stage.

His list of friends was long and he truly loved to spend time with friends. In the end, it was these wonderful friends who had added so much to his life that offered him the final honor of not giving up when worried about his welfare. The family appreciates this deeply.

For all that he brought to the many lives that he touched, in his own life, "behind the scenes" he struggled to find peace and happiness.

Our hope is that he now has found that which eluded him in this life.

A perfect peace.....
