Deceased Name: Deacon Mark Reeh

Midland TX United States
Deacon Mark Reeh, 56, of the St. Lawrence community of Garden City, went to be with our Lord on Sunday, February 20, 2005. He was born March 12, 1948, to Clemens Reeh and Lucile Heiman in Fredericksburg, Texas. He married Linda Eggemeyer Seidenberger on August 29, 1998 in Fredericksburg, Texas, and moved from Forsan to St. Lawrence. Mark Reeh was a veteran of the United States Air Force and served during the Vietnam War. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Sul Ross State University in 1971 and taught Vocational and Industrial Technology in the public schools for 30 years, mostly in the Forsan School District. Mr. Reeh received numerous Outstanding Technology Teacher awards over the years, taking many technology projects to local, regional, and state competition. Mark looked for the best in his students, hoping the life skills he taught them would lead to success throughout their lives. He also taught driver education in the school system for many years, most recently being a partner in Big Spring Driver Education. Mark's love and devotion to the Catholic faith was strengthened when he was ordained a Deacon on June 26, 2004. He assisted at the altar for the parish of St. Lawrence and the mission of St. Thomas in Midkiff. He also served as a Youth Minister, taught Senior religion classes and Rite of Christian Initiation classes, participated in the Prison Ministeries, and willingly served the Church and community when asked. His strongest desire was to serve others, always looking for and seeing the face of Christ in his fellow man. Survivors include his wife, Linda of St. Lawrence; two children, a son, Eric Reeh and a daughter, Erin Taggart of Big Spring; sisters, Janice Howell of Fredericksburg, and Karen Stahl of Salt Flat; father, Clemens Reeh of Fredericksburg and eight grandchildren. Also welcomed into his life and loved by him are LeAnn Seidenberger and husband, Brad Bowen of Midland, Stephanie Zimmerman and husband, Eric, and twins, Ramzey and Jaxson of Bryan, Matthew and Lorena Seidenberger and son, Gary of Fredericksburg and Brent and Tommi Seidenberger and son, Samuel of Bryan; brother-in-law, Harvey Eggemeyer, and sister-in-law, Jean Glass. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lucile Reeh and mother-in-law, Clara Eggemeyer. Vigil services will be Tuesday, February 22, 2005, at 7:00 PM at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Big Spring. Mass of Ressurection will be Wednesday, February 23, 2005, at 10:00 AM at St. Lawrence Catholic Church. Rite of Christian Burial will be at Greenwood Cemetery in Fredericksburg on Thursday, February 24, 2005 at 11:00 AM.
Deacon Mark truly loved teaching, both in school and in church. He challenged others to find the best in themselves and in others. His philosophy was to "plant the seeds of knowledge and faith, then watch them grow".
."Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the kingdom of God". We love you and will miss your ever optimistic and loving presence. Rest well. Arrangements under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Big Spring.
