September 23, 1944 – April 28, 2025
Reece Harvey McBurney passed away peacefully at Anson Place in Hagersville, April 28, 2025. Reece was born and raised on the family farm just outside of Hagersville, the youngest son of Charles and Olga (Jepson). He farmed as well as owned and operated McBurney Greenhouses, where he grew annual bedding plants, hanging baskets, and poinsettias. Reece was a sports fan – he played baseball in his youth and cheered for the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs. He enjoyed spending time on Sturgeon Lake, fishing, playing hoss, crokinole, and checkers with his mother, family, and friends. Reece is predeceased by his father Charles, mother Olga (Jepson), brothers Earl and Doug, and sisters Myrtle and Rhea. He is survived by brother David (Joan) and many nephews and nieces. The family would like to give special thanks to Louanne Matthews, Doug Reid, and the staff at Anson Place for their care of Reece in his later years. Burial has taken place at Hagersville Cemetery.
