Eric L. Reese
January 23, 1957 – June 12, 2025
Eric L. Reese, of Blaine, WA, age 68, passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. Born January 23, 1957 in Homestead, PA. He is survived by his daughter, Tesa Reese (Blake Henney) and his grandchildren Kinsley and Hayden; sister, Melissa Mazur (Fred) and their children Zachary and Caitlin Mazur; brother, Richard Reese (Susan) and their children, Michael, David and Matthew Reese; nieces and nephews, Arlene Grejda (Andy) and son Luke and Jason Kray (Elizabeth) and their children Xavier, Scarlett, Violetta and Lorenzo; also, his stepchildren, Christina, Lindsay, and Melanie.
He is predeceased by his parents, Richard and Elizabeth (Carrola) Reese; his sister Elaine Kray; and the love of his life, Loreen (Lulu) Allen with whom he lived for over 20 years.
Eric worked for Colacurcio Brothers Construction as a project superintendent for 20 years and received several accolades throughout his career. In 2000, he received a design award from the U.S. General Services Administration in recognition of his outstanding contribution to construction excellence for the U.S. Port of Entry in Blaine. His colleagues considered him to be an excellent superintendent, friend and mentor.
Loreen and Eric enjoyed gardening and their love for flowers and birds of all kinds. Eric was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, known for wearing his Steelers gear for Sunday game day, much to the chagrin of his Seattle Seahawk friends. He was so proud to wear that jersey each Sunday.
Eric graduated from Steel Valley High School in 1975 and headed to boot camp for the U.S. Marines. He then decided the west was his home, living in Colorado and Washington most of his life.
The family would like to thank all those who loved and respected him throughout his life. He was truly a good guy, always wanting to do his best, regardless of the challenge set before him.
He will be interred on June 23, 2025, at Hillsdale Cemetery, 4504 California Trail, Blaine, WA. at 3 p.m. Anyone wishing to show their respect is invited to attend.
