With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Donald Edward Reed II. He left us on June 13, 2025. Donald was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother who brought joy to everyone with his humor, captivating stories, and love for life. Whether fishing, strumming his guitar, or sharing tales around a campfire, he had a gift for making every moment special. As a retired truck driver and volunteer firefighter, he dedicated his life to serving others, leaving a legacy of kindness and community.
The Reed family is now faced with the challenge of arranging a funeral to celebrate Donald’s incredible life.
The family would like the opportunity to give him the dignified farewell he deserves, filled with the love and respect he showed every day. We’re reaching out to our community, friends, and family for support to help make this possible.
Your donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward funeral and burial expenses, allowing the Reed family to focus on grieving and honoring Donald’s memory.
Due to extensive healthcare and medical expenses, the family is burdened with funeral costs. Please reach into your heart and share your love and support for the Donald Reed family in their great time of need.
The Reed family states, "We are deeply grateful for your generosity, whether through a donation, sharing this fundraiser, or keeping us in your thoughts. Together, we can ensure Donald is laid to rest with the warmth and care he brought to our lives."
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the Reed family.
