Ashland--- Tripp Daniel Reese, 16 years old, tragically and unexpectedly passed away, so young and too soon, on Friday, November 5, 2021. He was born July 21, 2005 in Presque Isle, and was a loving son of Everett and Jodi (Jimmo) Reese.

Tripp was a super good young man. Though quiet, he was exceptionally well mannered and possessed a heart of gold. He always tried to please everyone he was around. Tripp was the best hugger, ever, and loved to share his hugs with his family and friends. He loved his family and wasn't ashamed to say or express it by sharing "Love you more" and "Love you best."

Attending Ashland District School, Tripp was completing his Junior year, but he was truly in his element when gaming on PS4 with his friends. He adored many family and friends outings while 4-wheeling, camping, and many memorable days and nights roasting hot dogs and S'mores by the campfire. He loved spending hours in the pool at home and riding his bike around town, but also appreciated family time playing Monopoly, Uno, Sorry, and Phase 10, as long as he won the game. Tripp had a thirst for knowledge, loved to share the trivia he had found, and was well known for his "Tripp-isms."

He is survived by: his loving parents, Everett & Jodi (Jimmo) Reese of Ashland; his sisters Emily Reese of Ashland, Gabrielle Belanger and her husband Nicholas of Portage, and Christina Lagasse of Topsham; Tripp was an adoring Uncle to Liam Rossignol and Jeremy Lagasse; his maternal and paternal grandparents, Richard & Marlene Jimmo, Eleanor Reese, all of Ashland, and Ross & Cindy Reese of Orland, PA; and many cousins and friends near and far.

Tripp was predeceased by his great grandparents and his namesake, Orville & Phyllis Tripp, and his great grandfather who shared the same birthdate, Theodore Grey. Though Tripp never had a chance to meet his great grandparents on Earth, we all pray they welcomed him with open arms as he arrived in Heaven.

Forever Tripp will be loved and missed, and a huge part of our hearts and souls are with him. Godspeed Tripp and rest in peace. We love you!
