Mr. Reavis was born in Guilford County, NC to the late John and Evelyn Reavis. Don served his country honorably in the US Navy.

He also loved all animals, and he had a special place in his heart for dogs. His most cherished title was that of “PawPaw.” He loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly, and he had a special relationship with each of them.
