Jonathan David Reid

Jonathan David Reid, known to most as Jon, of Holly Pond, Alabama, passed away on Friday, January 16, 2026, at the age of 58.

As a youngster, Jon enjoyed the outdoors. He and his family loved to hike, camp, and backpack together. After graduating high school, Jon attended Auburn University where he made many lasting friendships before obtaining his degree from Opelika State Technical College.
