Jonathan Lyle 'Jon' Reed, 48
HARTLY - Jonathan Lyle Reed (1972-2020) passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, August 4, 2020.
He bravely fought a rare cancer for almost two years. He graduated from Dover High School and continued to research and study his special interests.

He then held many sales positions, the latest being district manager for a solar energy company receiving a 2017 M.V.P. award for quarterly sales.
He enjoyed spending time with his children discussing current events, technology, and politics. Throughout the years Jonathan introduced his children to fishing, crabbing, hunting, kayaking, and days at the beach.
He is survived by his wife, Stephanie; children, Karynn M. Reed, Jesse D. Reed, Jadon L. Reed, Richard M. Reed; his parents, Richard E. Reed and Carol A. Reed; mother-in-law, Michele Hamilton; and a host of extended family and friends.
Jonathan was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles H. Reed, Sr., and Nellie P. Reed, and J. Walter Downes, and Ruth N. Downes.
