Wilburt "Red" Reed
April 1, 1939 ~ December 7, 2025
Born in: Ashtabula, OH
Wilburt “Red” Reed passed away on December 7, 2025 at age 86. He was born in Ashtabula, Ohio, to the late Grace Stevenson and Francis Reed. With a birthdate of April 1st, he was destined to become a jokester and loved to laugh with people and play practical jokes on his family and friends. He was known to cheat on board games!
Red proudly completed a tour in the US Army where he became proficient in driving a tank and was an expert-level marksman winning many awards. His hand-eye coordination also won him a perfect 300 bowling game with an 803 series!
Red labored hard as a cement finisher. He valued his land growing a large vegetable garden and taking nature walks in the woods during his spare time.
He is survived by wife Judy; daughters, Lisa (Eric) Heichel of Denver, Colorado and Vicki (Chris) Falton of Tampa, Florida; two grandchildren, Jillian and Olivia Heichel; brother, Daniel (Harriet) Reed; and sister Patricia Reed Mattocks.
He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Rosella Reed Wagner, Thomas, Allen, Richard, and Milford Reed.

I was really sorry to hear about the passing of Red. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, I sure heard a lot about his shenanigans, his funny side, and about all the good memories he made with his daughters. My condolences to Lisa, Vicki, Judy and the whole family. May he rest in peace.
