John Reed Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Arner Funeral Chapel - Chester on May 16, 2024.
John Edward Reed, 73, passed away peacefully on May 14, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.
John was born June 2, 1950, to Garnet (Hanlon) Reed and James Reed. He grew up in East Liverpool where he enjoyed summers at Lake Marwin and living "on the hill". John was a family man who took great happiness in raising his family on that same hill he cherished so deeply. His greatest joy in life was playing with his grandson, Hudson John Reed. John will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He leaves behind his wife and absolute love of his life Catherine (Kays) Reed, two sons James Reed and Erik Reed, one grandchild Hudson John Reed, a sister Vicki Scott (Ken), and brother Tom Reed (Marcia), and a large extended family.
A celebration of life with John's family and friends will take place at a later date.
