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.
Yes. Newly elected Republican Reps have a high mortality rate, don’t they?
Are we sure it wasn’t multiple self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head in Ft. Marcy Park?
And yet, George Soros lives.
It would seem
He looks like a crypt keeper.
given all his money he could afford a little plastic surgery..but when you run the world I guess you can say Who give a $$$$
Jeez, another 42 year old Republican Congressman dies suddenly. Pretty depressing.
Seems so.....
That is very sad. Condolences to his family.
One and you’re gone. Jackass Joe has two and is still kicking. The devil holds his reign.
Sending a message to the other representatives in PA?
Rein?
“...an apparent brain aneurysm...”

ap·par·ent
clearly visible or understood; obvious.
Yes, he does
Hillary, Bill, Soros... but he finally took Mccain.
Odd that only republicans are passing away lately. Second repub congressman in the last week or so.
From past pics on the beach.....seems to be on blood thinners.
Soros, that is.
Well he gets to skip cwii.
No convenient window?
“...an apparent brain aneurysm...”
Hmmm...and Epstein killed himself, right?
