Donnie Mack Reeves, 81, of Bigelow, Arkansas graduated to Heaven on September 29, 2024. He was born to Robert ''Bob'' and Rose Reeves in San Bernardino, California on December 18, 1942.
Don loved God and conversed with Him daily. His tremendous faith has influenced generations of family and friends as well as strengthened him through a tough battle with cancer.

Don grew up in western Oklahoma with his brother, Gordon and sisters, Willetta and Neva. He served his country in the Army during Vietnam. Don moved to Conway, Arkansas just a little while before meeting his wife of 57 years, Marilyn and having two sons, Patrick and Robert. He served his community through retail sales until retirement in 2017. Don was also an accomplished author with multiple published works.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Marilyn Helton Reeves and sons, Robert Reeves and Patrick (Misty) Reeves. He was also a loving and devoted grandfather to Hannah, Sarah and Emma. Other surviving family include his sister, Neva Knight; sister-in-law, Janice Reeves; brothers-in-law, Don Earl Hillemeyer, Bill (Bobbi) Helton, Leon Helton, Danny (Sharon) Helton; nieces, Rhonda, Donna, Shelley, LeAnne, Jennifer, Stephanie and nephews, Lee, Shane and Chris. He was also loved by many more family and friends.
Don was preceded in death by his parents, Robert (Bob) Reeves and Rose Emma Reeves; his brother, Gordon Reeves and his sister, Willetta Hillemeyer.
