The family of John Reyes 74, has invited the PGR to accompany their loved one on his final journey,
and be present during Military Honors. We are honored to do so.
John served in the United States Army from April 7, 1965 - April 6, 1967.
During that time John was in Armored Battalion 3rd Division Fort Hood TX and served in Viet Nam. He was awarded the National Defense Service medal, and Expert Rifleman medal.
After his service he worked as a Shipping/Receiving clerk for Sears, Downtown L.A. This is where John met his wife Diane,
and the Mother of 3 of his 5 children.
John enjoyed watching the Dodgers, the Rams, and especially his kids at all of there sporting events. The most important
time spent was with his family, and friends. John was that guy that wanted their time together to be memorable.
John is survived by his sons John, Damian, and Dante. Daughters Denise Marquez, and Ava Ortiz. Brothers Art, Joe, Richard, and Ernie. Sisters Eleanor Lopez, and Gloria Reyes. Two grandsons, two granddaughters, and one great-granddaughter.
