I also remember Jeff from Puckett's store. Mom would drive up there for gas, and Jeff always gave full service..checking the oil, filling the tank, washing the windshield. I always thought he was cute, and just the nicest guy you would ever meet. I was a dorky kid, and he always talked to me. A nice childhood memory, that makes me smile...
To Vickie and the entire Reid Family, my deepest sympathy at Jeff's passing. He fought a good fight and will be missed by so many. He served the Charlotte Fire Department with honor and dedication and I was proud to know him and provide services. May he rest in Peace, Barbara Avard, Charlotte Firefighters' Retirement System, Administrator (retired)
I would like to send condolences to the family
I remember Jeff from PUCKETT STORE.
Vickie, I am so sorry. You and Jeff are such an inspiration of forever abiding love since when...you were 13 or 14? I am thinking about and praying for you, Nick, Bethany and your grandsons. Joanne Medlin (Chad's mom).
Today we lay to rest a really good man. A long time resident, a former firefighter, and one of the kindest people you could ever meet. Harold Jeffrey Reid “Jeff”. It’s been said that “Jeff never met a stranger” and that is an excellent summation of the kind of man he was. He thoroughly enjoyed serving his community daily and retired as a Charlotte Firefighter (CFD Fire Station 33). Jeff also served the Gilead and Huntersville Communities, as a volunteer firefighter until he retired as Captain. We lost Jeff to cancer, he fought a long, hard, courageous and humble battle. Jeff was always a positive person, even when faced with adversity. Jeff was a big advocate of Be The Match bone marrow registry after receiving a transplant and would often speak with and support others needing a transplant. The Huntersville community held a successful blood donation and bone marrow registry event in his honor back in 2013 and Jeff shook the hand and spoke to everyone that attended that day.
Today, his family, members of the community, church and fire departments will gather to remember Jeff, tell some Jeff stories, and show the family that even though we lost Jeff – they will never be alone. The entire Fire Department community will always be there for them…it’s precisely what Jeff would expect and what he has done for others. We take an oath to our community and to each other. Rest Easy Jeff, we’re sure going to miss your smile, your laugh, your positivity and the stories about your grandsons Hayden and Hunter. We will NEVER forget you. We love you buddy and we promise to keep a close eye on Vickie.
- Bill Suthard and the entire Huntersville Fire Department.
Jeff will be missed. He was my inspiration in my medical battle. He was always wanting to help Beth and I. Never complained, always upbeat. We all know he is now pain free and rejoicing in the Lord. Ron and Beth Eller.
My love and condolences to all of you! Jeff was always a fantastic and happy guy! Special hugs to Vickie, Bethany, and Nick!
Nick, I remember your Dad in the early days of my joining the pipe band. I think I even drove you home and even picked you up at home and talked with your dad. So sorry he is gone. I am 75 and doing strong.
