Gary George Reid
1955 – 2024
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a much-loved husband, father and grandfather on September 25, 2024. Beloved husband of Janna Reid. Loving father of Kendra Reid and stepchildren Will Carlson (Jeannine Mather), Laura Carlson (Brian Pagnutti) and most special and cherished grandfather of Tafari and Makonnen whom he treasured and adored. The boys provided him with love, joy and laughter in unbound measure. Remembered by Sandra DiFrancesco. Predeceased by his parents Kathleen Reid (nee Badgerow) and George Reid. Dear brother of Michael Reid (Karen), Bonita Mercer (Jerry), Joseph Reid (Sadie), Craig Reid (Helene), Jeff Reid and Murray Reid (Marianne). Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Gary will be remembered for many different things, in many different ways by many different people. For those of us who were lucky enough to truly have known him, we will remember Gary for being a pillar of strength with a heart that treasured his loved ones fiercely. A helping hand in trying times and the greatest supporter through the good times. His absence will be greatly felt while his memory will forever be lovingly remembered.
As per his wishes, there will be no funeral visitation or service. Cremation.
A private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.
