Albert Joseph "Joe" Reed, age 61, of Wilkinson, passed away peacefully at his home on November 30, 2025, after an extended illness.
Joe was born on April 21, 1964, in Danville, Indiana, to Kenneth and Mary Ruth (Williams) Reed. He graduated from Cascade High School in 1982 and later owned and operated his trucking business until his retirement.
He proudly served his country in the United States Army. Joe enjoyed keeping his semi in pristine condition, weightlifting, and spending time outdoors, camping, hiking, and four-wheeling. Above all, he cherished the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.
