Mr. Reece was born March 12, 1974, in Gray, Georgia to R.N “Butch” and Linda Avery Reece. A graduate of The University of Georgia, he was an Eagle Scout, an Investigator with the Jones County Sheriff’s Office and member of Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church. Robert was a dedicated husband, devoted father and cherished son. You never met a more avid UGA fan that would give the shirt off his back to help a friend. He loved hosting backyard barbecues, tailgates, traveling and most of all spending time with his children and family. Robert was a one-of-a-kind, dapper southern family man who is irreplaceable. He is loved and will be greatly missed by all.
Mr. Reece is survived by his wife of eight years: Crystal Ann Reece of Flowery Branch; children: Emersyn Nicole Reece and Conrad Grey Reece; parents: R.N. “Butch” and Linda Reece of Gray, Georgia; sister and brother-in-law: Kerri and BJ Sweeney of Milton; and nephews: Max Sweeney and Reece Sweeney.
