Douglas W Reeves

Douglas Wendell Reeves passed away January 10, 2026 in Napa, CA.

Doug was born May 16, 1928 in Los Angeles to James Walter Reeves and Katrina TenEyck Reeves. A graduate of USC, he served in the United States Air Force before working for Sandia in Albuquerque, NM. After his marriage to Enid MacCready, they moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a technical illustrator.

Douglas retired early and with his wife, Enid, moved to the Sierra Foothills, settling in Placerville. Doug kept busy with his sculpture and painting, as well as growing grapes, dry lake sailing, and folk dancing. In 2018 Doug and Enid moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to be closer to their nieces.

A very private person, he could also be the life of the party. He was preceded in passing by Enid, his darling wife of 60 years. His humor and creativity will be missed. He is survived by his sister-in-law, Barbara MacCready, his nieces, Lynette Canaparo and Michelle Sfara and their families.
