1965-2025
Bryan Lee Reed of Sheridan, Arkansas was born May 21, 1965, in West Bend, Wisconsin the son of the late Gerald Dean and Helen Marie Judd Reed. Bryan lived a life full of passion, hard work, and deep love for his family. He worked as a long haul haz-mat truck driver for over 20 years. Bryan enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially when he could be fishing with his dad or his grandkids. He also had a gift for working with his hands and spent countless hours piddling in the garage under the hood of a car or truck, turning wrenches and just being a grease monkey. Bryan was also a passionate fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers as well as the Razorbacks and would let you know it if you weren't a fan of his teams. But above all, Bryan loved his lord, and he loved his family, spending time with his kids and grandkids was one of the greatest joys of his life, his lasting legacy lives on through them.
