Robert Reed Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Fry-Gibbs Funeral Home - Paris on Feb. 24, 2026.
Robert Earl Reed, 49 of Paris, passed away February 18, 2026

A memorial service will be held at Lake Crook on February 27, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

He lived in Paris Texas all his life. He loved to work outside, loved working on cars and playing with his kids. He loved to fish. He always made new friends. He would take the shirt off his back to help other people before himself.

He will be missed by his two daughters, Rachael Deann Reed and Sara Marie Reed; his siblings, Kathy, Christopher Megan and her husband Brian Gunwall, Carla Piper and her husband Johnny Piper, Christie Lindsay, James Butler; cousin, Rikkie and his wife Juanita Hooper; his dad, Bobby Jimerson and wife Terry Jimmerson; his girlfriend, Clara Kirtley.

He is now in heaven with his mother, Joanne Gilmore; and his grandparents, JV Reed and wife Juanita Reed.

We will miss you every day. Dad you are now in heaven and at peace. I love you, dad your wings were ready, but my heart wasn't. Love Rachael and Sara. Gone, but never forgotten.
