Obituary
STINNETT - Glenn Cleveland Reese, 92, died Tuesday, June 16, 2009, in Amarillo.

Services will be at 10:30 a.m. today in Church of the Nazarene with the Rev. Kenneth Benton officiating. Burial will be in Stinnett Cemetery by Minton/Chatwell Funeral Directors of Borger.

Glenn Cleveland Reese was born Nov. 13, 1916, in Plemons to Eugene Cleveland Reese and Arelia Sue Pitts Reese. Glenn graduated from high school in 1934 in Alanreed. Upon graduation, he moved to Navajo, Ariz., where his ranching career began. He ranched in Arizona for many years. In 1976, he returned to Texas and settled in Stinnett, where he resided for more than 30 years.

Glenn possessed many talents, but he was best known for his participation and success in team roping. During the years, he roped in many events. He was recognized for his winnings in Arizona and the southwestern part of the United States. During his roping career, he won the World Championship Team Roping in Pueblo West, Colo. He had a great love for fine horses and owned several outstanding roping horses. He also had a passion for small animals, especially dogs and cats. He was an excellent trainer of both horses and dogs.

Glenn Reese will be best remembered for his quick wit and one-liners. He was a favorite of all his nephews and nieces, and never failed to let them know that they were special to him in a very unique way. Those who cherished his friendship will certainly feel the void of his presence.

He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and four sisters.

Survivors include a brother, Donald Reese of Harrisburg, Ore.; a niece; six nephews; and numerous great-nieces and great-nephews.
