About Reese
Reese Widman ended his own life with an intentional car accident on January 7th, 2023. He was seventeen and a senior at Steilacoom High School. Reese was silently suffering with depression from what he revealed in the notes he left to friends and family. In the notes, he was concerned with the well-being of others. He asked that we make sure no one else hurts themselves and left his well-known quote, “Do what I couldn’t do; get help.” Reese was a fierce competitor on the baseball field. He worked hard but also had such a gift. Reese loved running bases and playing defense. He would argue that he had the best glove on the field. Reese truly shined on the pitcher’s mound. He could locate his pitches so well and strike out so many. He inspired his teammates and was a natural leader. Reese looked out for the younger guys on the team and was a mentor to them. He absolutely loves his Sentinel and New Level family. Reese had some really great coaches that helped shape him into the young man he was, but the best one was always his dad. Baseball created so many memories that will always be cherished.
