PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pennsylvania House Representative Mike Reese (R-Westmoreland/Somerset) has died of an apparent brain aneurysm.
Reese had recently been re-elected in the November 3 general election as Representative of Pennsylvania’s 59th district, which serves parts of Westmoreland and Somerset counties.
He was first elected to the Pa. House of Representatives in 2008, taking office in the 2009-10 legislative session.
Reese served as the Pa. House Republican Caucus as caucus secretary during the 2019-20 session and was elected to serve as chairman of the caucus in the 2020-21 session.
He died Saturday afternoon at Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital with his family by his side following the apparent brain aneurysm.
In a statement, Pa. House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff said:
“On behalf of the entire House Republican Caucus, I extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of Rep. Mike Reese.”
“More than a friend to all of us, and one of our caucus leaders, Mike was a devoted husband and father. His wife, three young children and extended family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
“I have known Mike since he took office in 2009 and have been proud to witness his many legislative accomplishments, especially his tireless work on behalf of Pennsylvania’s students and families. Mike was a model legislator who thoughtfully put his constituents first. His spirit, presence and counsel will be sorely missed.”
On December 7, Reese tested positive for Coronavirus.
Reese, a native of Mt. Pleasant, graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School before attending Duquesne University where he received a Bachelor’s degree and Seton Hill University where he received a Masters degree.
He is survived by his wife Angela and three children.
Reese was 42 years old.
That is not true. A stroke is not defined by the pathology. It's defined by the rapid onset of a neurological dysfunction related usually to a brain infarct or brain hemorrage..
Anybody with covid may have coagulation abormalities. You need to look at the covid treatment protocols that address that issue.
I was just joking with you. I was in neuropsychology though grad school
With all due respect you are wrong. Nothing to do with covid causes aneurysms.
I was hoping you were messing with me! Happy New Year and God bless you. You did not choose an easy path
More sadness. RIP.
Their (the Dems) time is coming.
Don't worry.
Yes, I found #3 later. :(
And to you and yours as well, especially mom. I do believe if life had unrolled itself a little differently I would have been a neurologist, but that wasn’t God’s plan this time through.
Say the Rats, “if we can’t cheat ‘em out, we’ll outright kill ‘em!”
To add to your post:
Just a coincidence that in many GOP districts, Trump ‘lost’ to Biden but the Republicans down ballot all won by 4-6%.
Aneurysms are places where there is a ballooning out of the blood vessel. It is a structural deformity unrelated to disease.
Just because he’s dead, doesn’t mean he can’t vote.
Any Republicans that side with those who are trying to help the Democrats install China-Biden in a coup, are against the American people, and are traitors.
And that poor young man in Georgia. This is why our people are such cowards. The Democrats are more efficient than the old mafia.
Ben Chafin (R) Virginia Senate from the 38th district died today
Covid-19 can also cause blood clots, which can lead to an aneurysm.
Prayers to his family and may GOD comfort him....
It’ll be written up as Covid.
Yes and no. Yes to the concept of making peace with one’s Maker. No to the automatic assumption (most likely tongue-in-cheek and not seriously meant) that Hillary Clinton is responsible for every death that has occurred in the last 25 years.
