Obituary of Karl Bradley Reaume

Karl Bradley Reaume was born August 12, 1960 in Wyandotte, Michigan. He was one of six children born from the union of: the late Harry Reaume, Sr. and the late Doris (Kinsey) Reaume. He received his education by attending Airport High School and graduated with the class of 1978. He married the love of his life: Lisa Jones on September 5, 1981 and decided to start a family of their own. They were blessed with two children: one son and one daughter.

To support his growing family, he worked  30 years at Post Gardens Greenhouses Incorporated. He was also very passionate about working along side his brothers, son, and nephews on the family farm.  Very active in his community, he served as Supervisor for Berlin Township for the past four years and prior to that  as a trustee for  two years. When he wasn’t working he enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson and taking trips up North with his family to the cabin in Glennie, Michigan. 

Karl had a playful personality, yet a heart of gold making it very easy for him to make lasting friendships. He never shied away from teasing those he loved, as he enjoyed making those around him laugh.

Above anything else, Karl was a family man. He was a loving husband and father who adored the time he got to spend with his grandsons. To know Karl was to love him, and he will be deeply missed by many.
