Robert John Reeb – Monongahela

Robert John Reeb
Monongahela

Robert John Reeb, 46, of Monongahela, “stood in the door” and made his final jump on Jan. 2, 2020. Born June 26, 1973, in Abington, Pa., he was the son of San-dra Cassel Roberts of Warminster, Pa., and Frederick C. Reeb of West Newton. Robert was a disabled veteran of the United States Army with service in North Carolina, Italy, combat tours in Bosnia, Sierra Leon, Rwanda and two combat tours in Iraq. He was an airborne infantryman and later a human resources specialist, caring for and looking after the interests of his fellow soldiers. He loved the Army and regretted that his disabilities kept him from fulfilling a career in the Army. Robert’s love of life revolved around his family and his three cats. Robert also was a member of Masonic Lodge 562 of Connellsville. Aside from his mother and father, he is survived by step-mothers, Beverly Reeb of Belle Vernon and Kerri Reeb of West Newton; brother, Christopher Reeb (wife Rebecca) of Belle Vernon; sisters, Jennifer Herron (husband Jason) of McCook, Neb., and Sarah Reeb of San Diego, Calif. His greatest love was for his niece and nephews, Erin Herron, Collin Herron, Matthew Herron and Patrick Herron, of McCook and “his little little buddy,” Maverick Reeb of Belle Vernon. He is also survived by his extended family of grandmother, Mary Whitman-Leger of Waller, Pa.; uncles, Neil Reeb, Jeffrey Reeb, Brent Reeb, Todd Reeb; and aunts, Debbie Weigt and Charlene Vaughn; as well as grandfather, Robert Cassel of Warminster and Gary Roberts, husband of Sandra Roberts.
