Christen Reed Obituary
Our beautiful man-child was smart, creative, innovative and inventive. He was a filmmaker, producer, free thinker, loved nature, wood worker, photographer, avid reader, self-taught learner of everything you could think or imagine. He had a heavy heart toward making the world a better, kinder place to live and dwell, while caring deeply for family, friends, and neighborhoods in Gary, IN.
Before he left us, he gave us all the love, care, concern and conversation about future plans and aspirations. Our beloved Christen didn't quite make it there, but we all know that you had it in you; and it would have happened. Love you so much Christen M Reed. You're the apple of all are eyes. Your deeply embedded in our hearts and mind forever and ever.
Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, February 10, 2023 at Guy and Allen Funeral, 2959 W. 11th Avenue. Visitation from 9:00 am-11:00 am, Family Hour 10:00 am, Celebration Service at 11:00 am. Pastor Charles E. Adams, Jr. officiating. Assortments of flowers and plants are welcomed and appreciated.

May our Lord and Saviour be your source of strength. Psalm 23 says, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
