To our Friends From the CHS Class of 1963:
 

We regret to inform you of the death of our classmate Thomas John Rees Jr on 30 June 2012.  I spoke with his wife Darla in Salt Lake City earlier this week.  She confirmed that Thomas was our classmate and that he passed away from complications from a stab wound he suffered in mid 2009 when he was attacked by some crazy guy while he and Darla were staying at a hotel.  Thomas and Darla had been married for about five years.  Thomas meant everything to Darla and she is missing him greatly. 

Darla; (cc'd on this message).  Please know of the heartfelt love and condolences from all of Thomas's former classmates for the loss of this wonderful man in your life.
