Harris Reed Jr.
April 11, 1955 – January 17, 2026

Harris Reed Jr., 70, of Rochester, New York, passed away unexpectedly on January 17, 2026, and will forever be carried in the hearts of those who loved him.

He lived a life defined by strength, generosity, a joyful spirit, and deep devotion to his family.

A proud semi-truck driver, Harris spent many years on the open road providing for his loved ones and finding peace in the miles beneath him. The road was more than a job — it was a place where he felt free and purposeful. His strong work ethic and reliability were qualities everyone could count on.

He had a deep appreciation for music and sang with all of his heart and soul. Whether driving long stretches of highway, barbecuing in the backyard, or dancing with his wife, music was always close by — a reminder of the joy he found in everyday moments.

Above all else, Harris was a family man. He shared a loving marriage with his wife, Terri Reed, and was a devoted father to his children: Valyn, Dezarae, Nicole, Jenny, and Chris. His heart grew even fuller with his 17 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, who brought him endless joy and pride.

Harris was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Juanita Reed. He is survived by his sisters, Pricilla, Cindy, Sandy, Joyce Ann, and his brother, Timmy Reed.

He loved deeply and showed it through his actions — cooking for his family, making sure everyone was cared for. He took pride in caring for those he loved, offering strength, stability, and unconditional support. His smile and joyful nature brought comfort to everyone around him.

Though he is no longer physically with us, Harris Reed Jr.'s legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the love he gave so freely, and the family he held so close. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A cremation service was rendered and the cremains place in the care of the family.
