Reuben died from a major heart attack suddenly in his explorer on his way to visitation for a friend at a funeral home in Kennesaw. He received immediate medical attention but they were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at 4:25 pm.

Visitation services were at J. C. Harwell & Son in Covington from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8. We were overwhelmed with tremendous amounts of visitors both friends, family and many business associates. All were having a difficult time accepting his sudden death. Flowers of all kinds lined the aisles from of chapel and adjacent rooms. It was truly an amazing botanical garden with every flower.

Service was held Saturday, October 12 at 11:00 am at the First United Methodist Church of Covington. The officiating clergy was Rev. Royeese Stowe, Rev. Don Hardison and a coworker
Ronald Stone.
