BRENT NELSON REECE, BINGHAM – Brent Nelson Reece, 57, of Bingham, went home to be with the Lord on November 7, 2017, after a short battle with cancer. He was born October 27, 1960, and lived the majority of his live in Houlton, the son of Laurel and Evelyn (Keene) Reece.
He proudly served our country in the United States Army for a total of seven years until his honorable discharge. Brent was known for his love of the outdoors and sharing his knowledge of hunting and fishing with family and friends, which also transpired through his blogging years.
Brent lived his life as an example for his son so he could enjoy the many facets of life that he had growing up into a man. The greatest gift Brent left us was the strength he showed at the end of his life. His love for the Lord was evident to all that talked to him. He wanted people to know that he was at peace with the knowledge of where he was going when he left this world. He will be missed by many.
He is survived by his loving wife of twelve years, Lori J. Reece of Bingham; son, Douglas Reece of Houlton; step-sons, Joshua Gray of Poland, Caleb Gray of Poland; step-daughter, Rachael Gray of Norway; brother, Bob Reece and wife Emily of Houlton; sister, Carol Reece of Houlton, Mary Reece of Houlton, Doris Reece of Columbia, SC, Pat Gilman of Connecticut; three grandchildren whom he loved dearly. He was predeceased by his parents, Laurel and Evelyn Reece; sister, Loyce Madden; brothers, Paul and Larry Reece.
