William "Bill" Michael Reeves, born June 7, 1947 in Mariemont, passed away on January 18, 2021, he was 73 years old. He is survived by his loving wife Adeline (Bricking) Reeves of almost 17 years, his daughters Billien (Leland) McCowan, Christie (Chris) Bell and his son Stephen Reeves, his stepchildren; Russell Rigdon and Matthew Rigdon, his brother Ronald (Glinda) Reeves and his grandchildren; Tyler, Zachary, Katherine (K.C.). He was preceded in death by his parents, William Frederick Reeves and Relda Cook (Wilhoit) Reeves and his first wife Cheryl.
After meeting his wife Adeline she helped him through his grief and he learned to enjoy life again and they lived life to the fullest. With both working they enjoyed traveling with the advantage each had with work. They went out to dinner with friends and family, and loved going dancing too. They enjoyed hiking, exercising and they both loved to read.
Bill attended the University Of Cincinnati School of Engineering, where he took advantage of their Co-op program. He co-oped for NASA, a dream of his was to be an astronaut. He spoke of this often as it was of great importance to him.
Early in his career he took a job in San Francisco and moved his family to the west coast. He immensely enjoyed California living and looked forward to traveling with his job. His son, Stephen, was born while in California. When his first wife Cheryl passed Bill returned to Cincinnati with his family.
In his professional life, Bill worked for several engineering firms in Cincinnati before starting his own business with two other engineers as SRA Engineering. He eventually expanded his business and changed the name to BRA Engineering. He expanded his business again with a merger of another firm, creating PRO2E Engineering. He obtained and held licensing in many states including; Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and California. His firm and personal design touch can be seen throughout the greater Cincinnati area, including the Cincinnati Zoo, the University of Cincinnati, as well as several P&G buildings; further traveling to help with designs in Europe. He excelled at designs for medical facilities, churches and biotech facilities. Bill won several design awards from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Additionally, he was awarded for his innovation and industry leading design for his work on Knox Presbyterian Church. He worked diligently to write specifications for new concepts when there was no precedence set in the industry.
While accomplished in business, Bill was also passionate about living, learning, and passing along that knowledge. He took to life, and all that comes with it, as a blank canvas; those close to Bill could see his love of fitness and nutrition, painting, classic cars and anything that could be built by hand. With all he mastered in his life, his children were what he was most proud of. Bill was a man of faith, unquestionable integrity, and honesty and he had tremendous work ethic. His approach to a situation was always a chance to learn; but, any given day, Bill might be waking the kids with the scruff of his beard, tickling until you were in tears, or standing behind a camera to capture memorable moments in his life.
Bill was diagnosed with Alzheimer's early in 2011 and had been fighting the disease ever since. His family asks that in lieu of flowers that you make a donation, in his honor, to the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Cincinnati. You may donate online by going to www.alz.org or you can send a check to 644 Linn Street #1026, Cincinnati, OH 45203.
