Jason Reed

On Jan. 9, 1975, Jason Lane Reed was born in Rochester.  He was a treasured son of David D. and Rosemary Hollos Reed.  Growing up, he shared his childhood with a brother, Jarrod.  He was a 1993 graduate from Rochester High School.

During his earlier years as a talented musician and performer, he was a member of some local bands. Seated at his drum set, he supplied perfect rhythm, keeping the tempo upbeat while leading his fellow band members. Self-taught, he also was accomplished with playing both the acoustic and electric guitars.

An armchair sports enthusiast, he was locked on to tennis, basketball and football. He took special interest in the Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors Miami Heat and the NFLs Pittsburgh Steelers. He was the proud owner of a unique collection of Michael Jordan memorabilia.

Left to cherish Jason’s memory are his son: Elias Layne Reed and companion Eloise Gordon, Kokomo; his mother, Rosemary and David Bellamy, Rochester; his father: David and Pam Reed, Andrews; a brother: Jarrod and Dawn Reed, Wabash; and paternal grandmother: Ann Reed, Florida.
