Rest Easy Wilson, I will never forget listening to many, oh so fun stories of you and Ilson, Shawn, Chad and John. Ya'll would laugh so hard, I never even understood half of the stories being told. (so much laughter I could never make out what everyone was saying). But I could understand and it was always so easy to see the friendship and bond that all of you had. You will be missed dearly! Prayers to family and friends.

SFC Reyes on our "mission" to Balad.

I deployed to Iraq in 2008 with then SFC Reyes as my platoon sergeant. He was always there to listen, to help, to motivate, to encourage. I needed a battle-buddy to go to Balad with me to pick up a part and he and I decided to stay a few extra days. I truly feel a great deal of loss and sadness but I know that Wilson's spirit, and his legacy will continue to motivate us. We love you, Sarge.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time. I will always remember his silly sense of humor, but always very respectable. Heave has a new angel with him.

I was blessed to have served as an administrative sergeant under this awesome noncommissioned officer during my tenure in the Army. He was a fine example of the Army's leadership model of "Be, Know, Do". He knew his job well and had genuine care and concern for the well-being of his soldiers. I say with great sincerity that Wilson Reyes has left a major void to fill and he will be sorely missed. To the family, I say be strong and look towards the hills from where your help comes from (Psalm 121). May the Almighty Lord, who is strong and mighty give you peace and comfort during this time...
