Gary Reed - Online Gedenkwebseite

It's been a couple of years now and I still miss Gary so much.  Every now and then I'll think, I haven't talked to Gary lately and then I remember I can't call him.  He was such a good friend and mentor and one of those people that made a lasting impact on my life.  This song makes me think of him except I definitely know where he is...

Goodbye

i met Gary in the summer of 1981 in Ohio on the first oil and gas "play" I got involved with. We were working on a million acre buy for Phil Anschuz out of Denver. Our crew chief, Ed  Sheperdson, a crusty Landman from the 50's/60's, took a chance on me at the tender age of 29. This lead to crossing paths with Gary and the beginning of our friendship. The job ended abruptly and there I was without a clue where to turn next. Gary departed to I'm not sure where but we told each other we would meet again. About 10 years passed and while working at Clinton Oil in Columbus, I get a call from no other than Gary: "Hey - you wanna have lunch?"  We caught up, swapped stories and went our seperate ways again. In 1994 I receive a call from Mike Beckett and he says: "You wanna do some search rings in Iowa with us?" "Us" was him and Gary putting together a crew to start the great wireless buildout after the spectrum auctions in DC. I had no idea what that meant, but I new if Gary was involved, I was on board. I drove to Des Moines in - 5 degree weather and ended the job 6 +/- months later, all the while having Gary as (one of) my bosses at CLS Group. I worked for Gary for about 9-10 years and we go our sepaerate ways yet again. The summer of 2005, I get a call to have lunch with my long time friend Gary in Ft. Worth. We had both jumped back into the oil biz running with the shale bonanza in the Barnett. Flash forward 5 years and we're again together working for a small outfit in Moon Township, PA. The last time I was with Gary was August 9th, 2013. We had our usual lunch and departed to go our separate ways once again. That time was different. After that lunch, I spoke with Gary on the phone numerous times, but we never got to see each other again and for that I'm sad and heartbroken. I will miss Gary beyond belief but his spirt and light will always be with me and those who were lucky to have called him their dad, husband, brother, friend or spiritual guide. I'll miss ya buddy. I will see you again and again we will share our stories.  Bob A

I can barely write this because doing so makes him being gone feel more real than it ahould feel. Losing him, him being gone, it's an incredible pain. I don't have enough words to explain the impact he had on my life and the life of my kids. And SO many others that I know and love and some who I have never even met! He touched so many! He will always be missed. Even from a distance, he was so connected to us. What Grandpa takes the time to call his grand daughter EVERY Morning before school? My dad, was amazing. I will miss and keep alive the "mmmmmmmmmBYE now!" And the Baloney Butt sandwich! There are so many memories to cling to and I am thankful to have them and keep them forever. I just miss him. Constantly. I love you Dad!

My heart is heavy to say goodbye to a great man, too soon.  Gary was a mentor and friend. He will be dearly missed.  May he RIP. Until we meet again.

Gary was a mentor and a friend.  His loss will be felt far and wide.  I will never forget him or the kindness he always extended.  He was a great man indeed.

Gary and I first met in Cincinnati in 1995 while working on a Whalen & Co. Nextel project.  This was back in the day when most people didn't know what a cell phone was!  Gary and I went on to develop a very close friendship over the years...we even called each other just about every day!  Gary was honest, loyal, kind, caring, and a pure joy to know.  I feel very blessed to have known Gary over the years and consider myself a better person for having his friendship.  May Gary rest in peace.  I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. 

My brother was the best brother in  world. Even though he was 2 years younger he was always a protector.  I have so many great memories and I will keep them close to my heart.  May he rest In peace.  Love you Gary. ❤️

Gary Reed (my dad) was the most amazing dad I could have ever wished for we traveled a lot through out my life and he was a business man througj and through but above all else he remained so present in my life from beginning to end!..I am still at such a loss of reality without him..he called me every day up until the day he was gone and I will never forget how wonderful he was for each and everything he did for me and others. Love you forever my amazing dad!  Love Tamra

My condolences as feelimgs of pain and bitterness become unbearable,it is my desire to convey a conforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures.

John 5:28¨Do not marvel at this,because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial  tombs will hear his voice and come out.

This passage speak of the resurrection of our loved one.It  is not God¨s plan to see us suffer and die,so he extends the following invitation to us =Come near to God and hi will draw near to you.
