Jason Reid, Sr.

Jason also leaves behind beloved nieces and nephews, Jordan (Chris) and Ellie Bean, Jayden, Connor, Gabe, Alex, Alexis, Shayonna, Charlene. (and her two little boys De’Parrish and De’Kharri), Imani, Nate, Jameria and Reese.
It would be remiss to not also mention all of the amazing friends who were also Jason’s support system and extended family.
Jason graduated from North HS in 1993 and Metropolitan Community College in 2003. Jason overcame addiction and became a licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor in 2003. Jason worked for the Siena Francis House for a decade, where he touched and saved many lives. To hear him tell his story was truly an inspiration. Jason most recently worked for the Veterans Administration, where he was the addictions therapist for their homeless veterans’ program.
Jason’s health made him unable to work these past two years and he was enjoying being able to spend lots of time with JD until he was hospitalized on November 29th. After trips back and forth to the rehabilitation centers and the hospital, Jason came home on June 7th to spend his final days surrounded by his beloved family and friends.
Celebration of Life Gathering: Monday, June 17th from 5-8PM at West Center Chapel with Remarks at 7PM.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Lupus Foundation or the Siena Francis Miracles Program
