Obituary: Reiha, James Jesse
Words cannot convey the sadness in our hearts and the empty place in our souls.
James’ unwavering loyalty to friends and family is what made him a true friend, son, brother, uncle, cousin, husband and father.
James was born in Montclair, CA and graduated from San Dimas High School in 1999.
He served his country in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged after two years.
He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Technology from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2007.
He has worked in many fields, from diesel mechanic to his current position as Sr. Systems Analyst.
He was a beloved employee of Buck Knives, Inc; a job he truly enjoyed.
James loved being outdoors!
You could always find him fishing, hunting, or walking around the family farm with a bow and arrow.
If ever you needed something fixed, he would figure it out or make you that contraption you always wanted!
He was the life of the party; his smile could light up the whole room; a person that always put the needs of others first, regardless of the time of day or the inconvenience it would cause him.
He loved with his whole heart and soul; everything he did with passion and energy for others.
He is survived by his grandfather, “Daddy-O”; his father, Jim Reiha (Gwen); his mother, Kelly Kehoe (Greg); his two sisters, Shayla Campbell and Teri Lockhart (Albery); three brothers, Matthew Kehoe, Cody Kehoe and Jared Kehoe; his wife, Ruth, and his two children, Raven and Breton.
His life was cut short and he will be forever loved and missed.
We love you “JJ”, “Jake”, “James-J”, “Quill”, “Daddy”, “Babes” and “Uncle Sexy”!
We miss you and hope you are finally at peace and smiling down on all of us who love you.
His memorial service will be held on August 23, 2014 at 11am with formal reception to follow at Hennessey Funeral Home 1315 N. Pines Rd.
