Reynolds who fought stage 4 esophageal cancer in 2016 and won, “lost his battle with depression” this week, according to a social media post from his wife, journalist Nancy Visser.

Reynolds, who started as a photographer at the daily newspaper in 1996, was known as a dedicated Meals On Wheels volunteer who was enthusiastic about Dallas and journalism.
