In Memory of Timothy J. Reap

Timothy “Tim” Joseph Reap, 58, of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 22, 2025, after a long illness.

Born on June 6, 1967, in Scranton, Tim was the beloved son of Joseph Reap and Judith MacDonald Reap.  He graduated from James M. Coughlin High School in 1985 and earned his degree from King’s College in 1990.

A passionate sports enthusiast, Tim was an ardent supporter of the Dallas Cowboys, Penn State Nittany Lions, Philadelphia Phillies, and Kentucky Wildcats. His love for the Cowboys, in particular, left a lasting impression — one for which many family members lovingly hold him responsible.

Tim was a devoted and loving father. He proudly passed on his passion for athletics to his children, and was actively involved in coaching baseball and soccer, sharing his time, energy, and support.

Professionally, Tim was a gifted and charismatic salesman. He resided, for many years in Mount Juliet, TN, and excelled in his career, earning accolades and awards — including incentive trips to Hawaii — a testament to his natural ability and dedication.

Tim is survived by his children: Connor Reap and wife Jordyn, and their son Callum; Kyle Reap and fiancée Odalis Martinez; Kaitlyn Reap; and Kallie Reap. He is also survived by his sister, Bridget Reap; and his brother, Martin Reap, and loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Tim will be remembered for his vibrant spirit, quick wit, and gift of conversation. His presence brought warmth, laughter, and energy to every room. He leaves behind a legacy of love, humor, and cherished memories.
