Richard Lee Reavis Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Richard Lee Reavis (Rick) was born to Richard and Mildred Reavis in Claremore, OK February 5, 1953. Rick grew up in Claremore where he spent much of his youth at his grandparent’s helping them on their farm. This was usually for punishment, but not for Rick who actually enjoyed it and said that some of the happiest times of his life were spent on that farm. In high school Rick split his time between riding bulls in the rodeo arena and playing the position of guard on the football field. His ability on the football field afforded him a full ride scholarship offer from the University of Tulsa. After spending a year at TU Rick opted to join the trucking industry and earn a living seeing the sights of North America as he traversed the highways of the US and Canada. It was this decision that would eventually lead him to develop a friendship with a man that would later introduce Rick to his niece, and Rick’s future wife, Donna Faye Rose. Rick and Donna were married on July 7, 1980 and two children were to follow. Family was always top priority for Rick who worked tirelessly to make sure they were taken care of. Rick and Donna would eventually set roots in Henryetta, OK where he would live until his passing on April 20, 2017. His legacy will be carried on by his wife of 36 years, Donna. His children, Laci Sperry and JC Reavis. His 3 grandchildren Van, Rider, and Kasen Sperry. His mother Mildred Reavis. His sisters Karen Reavis, Raquel Reavis, Audrey Kallenberger and husband Barry, and his brother Ray Reavis. Rick is preceded in death by his father, Richard Reavis. His brother Randy Reavis. His father in law Don Rose, and his mother in law Maudie Rose. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. April 29th, at the Henryetta Church of Christ. Services are under the direction of the Rogers Funeral Home.
