Bryan Scott Reid II of Honey Brook Bryan Scott Reid II, known as "Boo Boo" by his family, was born on August 6, 1982 in the Brandywine Hospital. Bryan grew up in a house in the woods on North Sandy Hill Road in Coatesville and then moved to Honey Brook with his family during his teenage years. As a young boy, Bryan could be found building lego's, Lincoln logs, model cars, or transformers. His mom said he was a total sweetheart of a little boy and she called him "mommy's little man." He grew to love anything involving problem solving and at one time was determined to figure out how to make a flux capacitor (from the movie Back to the Future) so that him, Anthony Winchester, and Brandi could time travel. He had a fondness for the great outdoors and spent a lot of time wandering the woods with his dog, Mutely. As a teenager, you could usually find Bryan roaming around the woods on his four-wheeler, and then later his dirt bike. It was in his nature to always be toying around with anything that had an engine. Many times you could find Bryan hanging out in the woods, sometimes covered in mud from riding, with his best friend, Greg Alexander. Bryan, as a young man, became interested in music. He was a gifted guitar player and singer and also had recently begun toying around with the banjo and mandolin. As our family went through pictures, most all of them showed him making funny faces, wearing funny hats, holding one of his little brothers (Blair or Louie) or a puppy or kitty, or tinkering with something (an instrument, model, or something with an engine). Family was a priority for Bryan. He often visited his mom or sister and just spent time with everyone. Bryan could be described as an "old soul in a young body." He was spontaneous, generous, caring, and an inspiration to many. Bryan had a real gift for making people laugh and finding humor in everything. Bryan passed away on a beautiful sunshiny afternoon on Monday, September 24, riding his motorcycle that he enjoyed very much. All who knew and loved Bryan are invited to join his family at a memorial service, to be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 28, from The Labs Funeral Home, Inc., 141 Pequea Ave., Honey Brook, to celebrate his 30 years of life. The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m. at the funeral home. For additional information, please visit www.thelabsfh.com.

Dear Bryan I was thinking about you lately,time is going by so fast that it seems like yesterday you where here. Life here isn't the same without you. I wonder what you would be doing if you were still here ? I think you would be living in your own home and playing with baby doll Sandra. She's getting so big, Your brother is doing very well, moving up in his job and he does such great work, Iam sure you are watching,but it feels good to write these words to you. Your sister is doing well also and back to teaching,shes so good at that. As for your mom shes doing well to, to much paper work this time of year though,LoL. Oh I forgot, Blair's working on your car. Can't wait to see it all done. But in do time. Even your moms working on it. How cool is that. Mommoms doing well to,and she misses you to. Well gonna go. Keep watching over us from Heaven. I send my love and always miss you ,until we meet in Heaven. Love. Aunt Chris

so today I was thinking about you as I do every day since you went home. I listened to a message you sent your Mom. Just hearing you talk was so good and sad at the same time. I look at pictures and see you smileing. I guess its never gonna be the same. I remember when we'd have gatherings and all would wait for you to come in and all of you six would all just light up with happiness. I know we must move forward and we are. Just not as happy as we all once where. Love you Always

Words can't describe how much I miss you. Time will help ease the pain, but the pain will never really go away. A piece of my heart left with you the day you went home. I look forward to the day when we can play music together again. In the meantime I have to just keep practicing.
