Reed Ohlbrecht

Hey big guy, 20 years tomorrow. Funny thing is, I retired after 25 years at the Sheriffs Office and now work at Faricy Boys Jeep. A couple of people there still remember working with you to include Mr. Faricy. I proudly told them you were one of my best friends and it was my mission in life to make you laugh. I still miss that so much to this day. I always had a policy of telling my friends when I saw them I love ya and giving a big hug to them. I am glad the last time I saw you, I was...

Hey big guy, 20 years and I still think about you every day. Our biggest connection was always laughter and music. New songs come out all the time and I think Reed would have loved this. I often tell my wife, Reed turned me on to this song when it hits the playlist. When in reality it was probably Brody that introduced him to the songs. Well I still love Better Than Ezra, Bush, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and the Toadies because of you. The songs don´t hurt when they come on now like they...

Hey big guy, They say when someone passes in your life you think about them every day. I didn't think that was true until I lost you. So many songs, jokes, and memories. At first a lot of the songs you introduced me to were very painful to listen to. Now I am glad every last one of them exist so I can always allow you to live in my memory. I hear so many new ones and think you would like them. I hope you can still hear them and do. I miss you my friend. You were the greatest person...

Still miss you big guy and think about you every day.

Reed,
I have thought about you almost everyday. I think about what you are doing or if you know how much of a print you left on everyone's heart. I have made a lot of changes in my life and I think that you would have been proud. The memories I have of the times we were together are always good. I know now that we were suppose to meet in my life. The part I don't know is why? I know that we were not suppose to stay together but I wonder why didn't you get a chance to have your family and...

Hi u
You've been on my mind like always. Got married a few weeks ago, life is different these days...not as fun as it used to be when we were small but it's good. Your light still shines in a lot of us Reed and it will always be there for us when we need it. You were such an awesome person...still are.
HUGS REED!

Big Guy,

I am so sad today. I can hardly stop crying. So much has happened since I wrote around Christmas. I did a Christmas newsletter and it tore me up. I didn't get it finished until after New Years because Christmas tore us up. I can't imagine ever doing Christmas again without you. Plus, it was extra hard on Dad because it is his first Christmas without her and I know it was hard for Tyler and Brody, too.

We opened our Contract Postal Unit and everyday when I come in, I...

Hey Reed,

It is almost Christmas. Today I am sitting here remembering. Memories are coming at me so fast that they’re zipping by and I am only catching a glimpse of everything. I have discovered this morning that life happens so fast and just as fast, it can take a turn that leaves the rest of us devastated.

I remember all you boys when you were little and how excited you’d all be. I remember making sugar cookies for Santa and leaving carrots for his reindeer. I remember...
