DAVID ALLEN REID

December 16, 1960 - July 31, 2021

Suddenly at home, I lost my best friend and husband of 36 years. 
 

Life for David was a physical and emotional struggle for the last few years. He lost two dear friends in Dave & Nate, and it left a huge hole in his life.


He is now free of pain and stress and no doubt having a three-way argument with Dave and Nate with each saying, “you should have taken better care of yourself.”


David loved his home, his cats, watching sports - the Jets, Bombers, golf - and working hard and enjoying his down time with red wine.


A tough, loyal, and stubborn Scotsman. David, I will miss you forever. I will even miss the mess and the aggravation.

Very sorry to hear of David's passing.  He was a fabulous anti-hero.  I will always remember those late nights in the apartment from that long ago.  Rest easy Mr. Comic Book Man.

I will miss you and your big beautiful heart every day.  Enjoyed sharing our talks and banter, even though we did not always agree, we understood each other. I will never forget your phone call on 9/11 to tell me to turn on the TV.  While talking with you the other plane hit the building.  It was another “share” event that will stay in my thoughts and remembrance.You stayed with me the day your Dad had major surgery.  Your support will never be forgotten.  We leaned on each other when we both had that terrible flu.  We helped each other stay strong.   David, you will be in my heart forever.  I treasured our times together and wish it had been more. Your Dad and I are relieved to know you are at last out of pain and at peace. Look forward to seeing you on the other side.  Love you,  Ev (step Mom)  Our condolences to Lisa.

David and I shared a strong bond (being the two youngest children of six). He made life interesting. and the memories I have of him are vast.  Dave I will always love you and I will miss so much.

I'm going to miss taking my mom (his sister, Janet) there and chatting with him, we were looking forward to popping by again post-plague. I guess you really can never take the future for granted. He was by far my favourite uncle. I'll miss his sarcastic wit and take no sh*t attitude. One of my favorite stories happened long before I was born, I believe shortly after my mom and dad got married. Mom came home to a virtually destroyed living room with Dad and Uncle Dave in the middle of it, they claimed to be reenacting a wrestling match. I don't think Mom was overly impressed at the time, but I know she'd give anything to walk in on that scene one more time. Love and miss you forever, destroy some living rooms with my dad in the next life

David was our brother. We grew up with six kids in the family of Charles Reid and Margaret Parker.  David has gone to join Barb and Donald in the afterlife.  Pat, Carol, and Janet knew David wanted to live his life on his own terms and out of respect we didn’t intrude and let him be. Over the past thirty or so years we rarely saw him, but we always knew he was living his life his way.  Rest in Peace David.

You were more than a good friend- you and Lisa quickly became like family to me and Teddy - then Prince.  I could always count on you.- for help and for laughs. My football buddy - it won’t be the same watching without you.  Cheers to you in heaven 🍷You are missed. - Eileen and Prince (aka one legged chick)

Good tribute to a crazy, interesting guy ... definitely a lot of ups and downs along the way but I was glad that we were able to share a good part of our life journeys together.
