I will miss you Reed. It's so hard to believe as we spoke just a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the time we spent together at work and will miss your funny personality. You were a good friend and a great Dad. You were always so proud of your son. It was great to watch you and your mother's relationship grow over the past weeks via facebook. I'm very happy God gave her that time to spend with you. Your family will be in my prayers. Until we meet again brother...

Jan I am so sorry for your loss. Reed was someone who left an everlasting impression on every single individual that met him. I'm still in disbelief! I know how much you loved him. I also loved him so much. I will be down to visit you very soon. We have so much to talk about and to catch up on. Thankfully I got to speak with Reed before this awful tragedy happened. I love you and he will forever be missed. Stephanie Shay Reese
