Jack Ray Reynolds
May 9, 1947-June 28, 2008
Jack was born in Spokane, Washington to Ralph and Dorothy Reynolds. He had an older sister, Deedie (Edith), whom he tormented as only an younger brother can do. He graduated from North Central High School, where he was on both the football and wrestling teams. After pledging Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and a part of the university wrestling team at the UW, with hopes of being a nursing student, Jack later transferred to Eastern Wash. Univ., graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Education, majoring in Phys. Education. He eventually earned his Master In Science at the UW in 1973. Issaquah School District hired Jack in 1969 to teach at Issaquah Middle School (1969-74). He later helped with the opening of Pine Lake Middle School (1974-1978), and finally settled in Maywood Middle School (1979-2006.) He taught numerous subjects, including Science, Math, Wood Shop, Health, and Phys. Education. Jack coached several middle level football, wrestling, and track teams, and coached Liberty High School’s girls’ volleyball teams. Over the years, he served as Activity Coordinator, ASB Advisor, and Athletic Director. Jack was well-known in both the softball umpires and wrestling officials communities, at the local, state, regional, and national levels, having received numerous accolades for his service and officiating. From first marriage, Jack has two sons, Scott (Michelle) and Steve (Kelly), and now three grandchildren, Casey, Jake, and Skyler. Jack always brought a joke or two to whomever needed a smile and a helping hand to those in need. His love for his wife, Tally, and all animals, especially his own dog, Annie B was obvious to all.

THAT MAN IS A SUCCESS ..who has lived well, laughed often and moved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his tasks; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.
