Albert Wayne Reves Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Albert Wayne Reves, Aullville, MO, died Oct. 6, 2013 on his 78th birthday. He was born in Batesville, AR to Wallace and Mildred Irene (Pate) Reves. As a young child, after his parents divorced, he lived with his father's cousins, Oca and Max Dent and Lillie and Chester Hodges, in Swifton, AR. Swifton became his home when he came to live permanently with another one of the cousins, Jesse and Alice Haskett, who he called Uncle and Auntie, and raised him as a son. He worked hard as a young child, picking cotton, helping Uncle with the pool hall, ice house, and collecting the mail from the train. He also learned to hunt and fish, which became lifelong passions. He graduated from Swifton High School in 1953. He started working with the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1954. He married Rebecca Jane Borgstadt on June 22, 1957. They made their home in Judsonia, AR, where their three daughters were born. In 1972, they moved to Oak Grove, MO, where they lived until 1980. They moved around several times with the railroad, which became Union Pacific Railroad, before retiring in Aullville, MO in 1995, after 41 years of service. In retirement, he and Jane loved to travel, especially to see his beloved children and grandchildren. He also had a love of small dogs. His rat terrier, Scout, who will miss him terribly, was dearly loved. Mr. Reves loved Arkansas, his good railroad friends, watching football on TV, and most of all his family. He was preceded in death by his parents and foster parents; Uncle and Auntie, brothers; Prentice Reves, Donnie Evilsizer, Richard Evilsizer; sister, Cheryl Ann Evilsizer.
