Reed spent 4 years in the Navy learning the trade of dental technician, which was his career after his time with the Navy ended.
Reed was an avid fan of learning. He loved sharing new interesting things he learned about our planets, galaxy and the universe with his children. He also had a great sense of humor, and his laugh radiated from the tips of his toes, through his soul and lightened everyone around him.
Later in life, Reed enjoyed being pen pals with friends and family near and far. He had such great empathy and compassion and truly enjoyed reaching out via phone or by letter to close family and friends.
Reed died peacefully at his home on Thursday, January 6, 2022.
