Doctor Ronald Joseph Reeb M.D. died peacefully surrounded by family on September 12, 2026. Ron was born in Belleville, Illinois on October 5, 1946 to Joseph and Mildred Reeb. He was preceded in death by his parents and granddaughter Margaret Mendenhall. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Kate, and their three children, R.J. Reeb, Becky McCall (Ryan) and Robyn Mendenhall (Kevin) and grandchildren Mickie, Brody, and Riley Reeb, Emma and Charlie McCall and Matthew, A.J. and Mary Mendenhall. He is also survived by his two sisters, JoAnn Hays (Dennis) and Mary Beth Schilling (Rick) as well as many nieces and nephews.

Ron attended Creighton University for undergrad and medical school, graduating in 1972. He specialized in radiology and did his internship and residency in the Navy earning the rank of Lt. Commander before being honorary discharged. He practiced radiology at Bethany, Providence, St. Francis, Stormont Vale and Leavenworth VA hospital.

He was a huge sports fan of the Chiefs, the Royals and especially Creighton basketball. He was a great family man and was involved with his children and grandchildren’s sports and other activities. He enjoyed many family vacations in summer and spring break. He was kind and generous in many ways and always mindful of his catholic faith. He also loved all the dogs that were part of the family over 57 years and was very sad about leaving our Labradoodles, Juju and Jojo.

We will miss him forever. He was one of a kind!

We would like to thank the hospice team at Villa St. Francis for the care he received during his final days. A special thanks to Kim and Jeanette.

His funeral will be on October 16th at the St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Olathe. Visitation will be at 10:00 AM followed by a funeral mass at 11:00 AM and an inurnment at Resurrection Cemetery in Lenexa.
