Michael Reynolds Obituary

Michael R. Reynolds, 71, passed away peacefully at home from renal cancer on July 12.

He was born November 19, 1951, son of Don and Phyllis Reynolds.

He graduated from Lawrence High School in 1971. From there he joined the US Air Force for 4 years. Upon returning to Lawrence, he went to work for ICL, retiring after more than 40 years.

He was married to Barbara (Cheek-Harper) for 25 years.

He had 2 stepchildren that he loved as his own, Heath Morris, Lawrence, and Penny (Morris) (Joe) Candrilli of Tampa, Florida.

His pride and joy was his granddaughter, Kyla Candrilli, of Tampa, Florida.

His favorite pastimes were going to any casino, the yearly car swap meet at the fairgrounds, watching old westerns, and laughing. He was a wonderful husband, father, and papa. He left all of us with lots of happy memories we will be laughing about forever.

A celebration of life will take place at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home on Saturday, July 29, 2023 at 10am. An inurnment will follow at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Visiting Nurses Hospice.

Mike will be missed by many people. I had known him for years at work as we both moved through different roles. He was a great resource for me on several projects and he knew his stuff. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.
