Classmate Memorials

Browse individual pages honoring each RHS ’96 classmate through photos, stories, and shared memories.

A polished granite memorial wall engraved with neatly arranged nameplates, each represented by simple, elegant bronze plaques without legible text, set in a quiet courtyard. A single red rose and a folded navy-and-silver school pennant rest at the base, hinting at a shared alma mater. Late afternoon golden light washes over the stone, catching subtle reflections on the metal and casting long, soft shadows across the paved ground. Photographed at eye level with a shallow depth of field, the foreground plaques are in crisp focus while the background gently blurs, creating a sophisticated, reverent atmosphere appropriate for a Reno High School Class of ’96 memorial site.
An open, linen-bound remembrance book resting on a dark walnut table, its thick, cream pages filled with gracefully curved but unreadable handwriting that suggests heartfelt messages. Beside it lies a vintage silver fountain pen and a single white lily placed reverently across the page. In the background, slightly out of focus, sits a small framed scarlet-and-navy abstract emblem hinting at a school crest without clear lettering. Gentle morning light filters through sheer curtains, illuminating the paper’s texture and creating soft shadows. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with a shallow depth of field, the photograph conveys quiet invitation, encouraging visitors to submit new memorials and add memories with understated sophistication.

How We Honor Classmates

This memorial list gathers the names of Reno High School classmates from the Class of ’96 who have died, using information shared by family, friends, and classmates. Details may be updated over time as our community contributes memories and corrections.

A vintage-style wooden display case mounted on a muted cream wall, filled with carefully arranged symbolic keepsakes: a worn crimson and blue varsity-style pennant without text, a small bronze bell, a pair of old keys, and a stack of neatly tied letters. A discreet memorial candle in a frosted glass holder glows softly on a narrow shelf below, its flame reflected in the display glass. Soft, diffused evening light from an unseen window mingles with the candlelight, creating a warm, reflective ambiance. Captured straight-on with balanced composition and photographic realism, the image suggests a dignified place where memories, condolences, and stories of the Class of ’96 can be shared.
