Kurt Alan Reilly

Kurt Reilly, 54, of Smithfield, VA, passed away on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. He was the son of Larry and Suzy Reilly of Norwalk, Ohio. Kurt is also survived by his wife of 35 years, Lahnie Reilly; daughters, Katt Fisher (Peter) and Mandi Reilly (Matthew); grandchildren, Juniper and Maple Fisher, and Keigan and Evelyn Bredon; sister, Annette Pronschinske (Gary); brother, Scott Reilly (Stacey); a nephew, Trevor; and his in-laws, Diana Wilson and Joseph Wilson.

Kurt joined the United States Air Force in 1989 at the age of 17 as a graphic artist to “color for a living”. He met his loving wife Lahnie while stationed in Arizona where they quickly married and moved to Alaska. They continued to move all over the United States and had their two daughters. While stationed in Las Vegas Nevada, Kurt was part of the Air Force Thunderbirds in 2000 creating many of their promotional posters and merchandise before being stationed in Smithfield Virginia and making it their forever home in 2004. He did one 8-month tour in Iraq in 2009 before retiring from the Air Force in 2011 serving his country for 22 years. He then continued serving his country as a civilian working civil service until his retirement in 2023. Kurt loved camping with his friends as well as driving his beloved Jeep but his love of corn outweighed it all. He was a caring father and adored his 4 grandchildren always asking “where are my babies” any time he called. He was loved by so many people and will be truly missed.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026, 10:30 a.m. at St. Alphonsus Church, 1322 Settlement Road, Norwalk, Ohio 44857. The family will receive friends at a visitation one hour prior to the Mass and also at a luncheon following the Mass at the church. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Smithfield, Virginia.
