Todd A. Reay

Todd A. Reay, 39, passed away Sept. 24 near Glendo, Wy. He was on vacation in a place that he loved with people that he loved.

Born on Sept. 6, 1975, in Butler, he was the son of William and Jacquelyn Fox Reay.

A 1993 graduate of Knoch High School, Todd was raised near Saxonburg.

A true outdoorsman, he was happiest in the woods or on the water. Hunting, fishing, trapping and going to camp were his favorite activities. He had a great sense of humor and always had a smile on his face. Quick to lovingly tease and tell a joke, Todd was one of the most caring and generous people you could ever hope to meet.

He loved working with wood, producing lumber with his sawmills, doing tree work, and building furniture. Todd could do anything that he put his mind to. He was a true jack of all trades.

Above all else, Todd was so excited to get married and become a father that he couldn't hide his joy about all of the good things happening in his life.

Todd is survived by his fiancee, Susie Gardner, and their son due in February; his parents, Bill and Jackie Reay; his siblings, Michael Reay and Stephanie Barron; his seven nieces and nephews;, and his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
