Reed Dexter Bronson, age 48, passed away peacefully on January 5, 2026, in Roseville, Minnesota. Born on December 28, 1977, in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, Reed brought joy and light to all who knew him throughout his life.
Reed was the beloved son of Scott and Diane Bronson. He shared a close bond with his late sister, Julie Bronson Fjeld, who preceded him in death in April 2017. He is lovingly remembered by his brother-in-law Jeff Fjeld and nieces Ariana and Kyra Fjeld. For the past 25 years, Reed was embraced as family by Sean, Jack, and Steve of Enrich—relationships that brought him deep connection and happiness.
Reed is also survived by many relatives and friends.
A man of many passions and a vibrant spirit, Reed found great joy in the music and television of the 1960s and 70s. His love for bowling and mini golf was matched only by his enthusiasm for dancing and socializing with friends. Reed's joyful presence made every gathering brighter; he had a gift for making others smile with his humor, warmth, and caring nature.
Faith played an important role in Reed's life. He loved attending church services and took pride in helping his father with ushering and greeting duties—a reflection of his generous heart and commitment to God.
Reed was a proud
Special Olympics athlete whose determination and sportsmanship inspired those around him. His involvement in these events was a source of personal enjoyment.
Those who knew Reed will remember him as joyful, loving, funny, caring, faithful, social—and above all—unforgettable. His presence enriched the lives of many.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the St. Croix Hospice team; Chennea and staff at Suite Living; Enrich; and Reed's PCA, Abdi—for their compassionate care and support.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to
Special Olympics Minnesota or the Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota.
