Chris Reda Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Chris enjoyed spending time with his family and loved seeing his children and grandchildren happy. He loved fishing, puzzles, coaching softball, playing euchre, and family game nights. Chris was a long-time member of Trinity, Utica and St. Lorenz, Frankenmuth. He spent his free time rebuilding classic cars. He was an avid collector of stamps, elephants, and die-cast cars. He enjoyed visiting with his Xcelerator Auto Club friends in Frankenmuth. Chris had a kind and generous spirit and loved to laugh. He was always working on a project or two as he enjoyed working and helping his friends and family. He will be missed by all.

I was shocked to hear of Chris's passing. I didn't know him well but always enjoyed talking with him in church and watching his lovely family growing. He was and great father as far as I could. My sympathy goes out to all his dear children. Sincerely, Sally
