Besides being a great guy that loved his family, ALOT! Dude had the strongest grip I knew, he could cut 16 gauge galvanized facia gutter like it was butter. And he could do it all day. That and when I would hold the ladder. R.I.P. BIG GUY

I have so many memories of Harley. One of them sticks out in particular. The group of us had gone camping. In the middle of the night, I swore I heard a bear by our tents. The growling and huffing and puffing was very close by. The next morning I climbed out of my tent and saw Harley had slid outside of his tent (tent was on a slope) and was flat on his back sawing logs. I found the bear! 
Harley was a great guy and would do anything for anyone. He is already missed by so many. 
Prayers go out to his boys, his wife, his parents and everyone that loved him. 


My friend!!   We had a lot of good times.  I remember when I first met you. I worked at Walmart and you started working in the back room unloading trucks.  You were a sweet man.  I will miss your one of a kind laugh. R.I.P.  ❤️😇

Harley, from the moment I met you I knew we would be great friends.  From the first time you kissed me, I knew I never wanted to kiss another person.   I was yours from there on out.  My life changed for the better, because of you. I've never once regretted marrying you and the happiest days of my life were all because of you.  Although we weren't meant to be forever, we were able to stay friends most of the time,  and great friends a lot of that time.  I have to say you always were such a wonderful friend to me, as I hope I was to you.  I will always love you, Har.  And I promise to always try to be the absolute best mom to our boys forever more.

Harley came into my life when he and my brother became best friends! Unbreakable bond those two have.  I was two years younger than him, but let me tell you I had the biggest crush..his smile, his laughter...all contagious! We became such great friends! I am blessed to have had him in my life.  Many wonderful memories to remember.  Rest in Paradise Har! ❤ 

I have never done this before but I feel like I have to tell you this. I was lucky enough to meet Harley Reed, a man, a father, a husband and a very good friend. We met years ago when I was staying with a great family in the USA as an au-pair. I come from the Czech Republic and it was difficult for me to adjust until I met a lot of amazing people and Harley Reed was one of them. Among other things he introduced me to Jack Daniels for the first time, he and his family - Terri, Devin and Steven took me on a very special trip to see and swim in the Pacific Ocean. As a foreigner, it wasn´t always easy for me but Harley somehow knew that and made me feel welcome. I just wish I could tell him how much I appreciated it back then and how much it meant to me. I´m gonna miss you, Harley!

Gavin and I came all the way from Texas and we got to spend an entire week with cousin Harley and the entire family last year. Harley was very kind, funny and it wasn’t hard to see that he had a huge heart. We had many laughs that week along with some deep talks, it was a special week. Harley took a special liking to Gavin and made it a point to come visit us everyday we where there. We talked about him and Jeff coming to Texas to visit this year and I’m very sad that that can’t happen. We love Harley and will always remember our time with him. We are praying for the entire family. RIP CousinHarley.

It says to share a favorite memory.
Well every memory is my favorite Har was my best friend since 7th grade we started the same day and met in the office when our parents were signing us up. We did everything together. Since day one. So I only have 2000 max length. Well I'll just say, this hit me hard. I just wish I got the chance to say good bye to the guy that show me how to drink, drive, girls, ride quads, shoot guns, cruzing Blackstone, and a hole list of stuff.
I named my baby girl after this great man. I wish i had five more minutes with him just to say Thank you! And I love you man! Rest Easy my friend.

Hanging out in the garage with Andy, Kris, Phil, & others! 😢🥶 
I was so cold one night, actually freezing, he went in and got me a sweatshirt or something to wear. He would give you the shirt off his back, such a big heart. I regret not saying hi to him last time I saw him in the store but wasn’t sure if he would remember me, it’s been over 5 years since I’ve seen him.
Hugs & Prayers Terri, boys, family, & friends. Enjoy the paradise until we meet again. 


I will never forget the mini truck days.   Harley and Terri opened their home to me off Ashlan and let me hang out with them.    Harley was always working on his dark blue mini truck.    He always had a cheesy smile and was ready to cruise on the weekends with his buddies Rod and Darren.   I have not seen him for 25+ years but I will never forget all the fun we had in the 'mini truck' days.   RIP Harley.  

Ditching school junior year drinkin beer with Harley Reed,  Rodney Rich,  Randy Gosit, Ryan Devolt,  Phill Briant, Chis Mcurley  up at Kurtoff resavor drivin in the suburban and good ol Harley puckin out the window all down the side of the suburban got to love the big guy. Which we had pics but that was before our time lol. Gonna miss him. Love ya bro 

I havent seen Harley in 20 years, knew him back in highschool he was an awesome person.  He was a easy person to talk to and he was always willing to listen and be a true friend.   I wish we would of kept in touch but life just gets busy.  One night in particular comes to mind Remember one night our two friends fighting and we sat in the car and talked and laughed at the two of them for hours.   He is truly gone to soon.  

Harley, I will miss you so much. I know we only had the chance to meet once when I was younger but we’re family and I truly regret not making it back out your way before your passing. Aunt Donna, Uncle Jerry, Jeff, Heather, Terri, Devin, and Steven you’re all in my thoughts and prayers daily. I’m truly sorry for this great loss you all have suffered. Rest in Paradise my sweet cousin!

My goofy Harley, when we first met, we wanted to kill each other, you were the worse bus boy ever. Lol, then my girl brought you over, & I could see how much y'all loved each other. When you made fun of me for getting pregnant,  then showing up at my work , to tell me u were too... We laughed, & I said your not doing the work Terri, is.. u smiled & let's bet they are boys. Ok you won the bet. You were always so chilled & became 1 of the sweetest guys I knew. You will truly be missed bro. My heart really aches for all those who love you. I was blessed to know you..

I've only known Harley a few years but he sure loved life and tired to live it to the fullest.  
I have nothing but good memories. 
My sincere condolences to both his sons and family.
