Anthony Eugene Reed

January 16, 1982 - December 25, 2020

It is with deepest sorrow, we announce that Anthony Reed, age 38, our beloved son, brother, uncle and friend passed suddenly on Friday, December 25, 2020. Anthony was born on January 16, 1982 in Danville, VA and lived most of his life in Blairs, VA. He had a kind, gentle spirit. His contagious smile and laugh and unconditional friendship provided comfort and left an impression on many people throughout his life. He graduated from Chatham High School in 2000. He was a member of Open Bible Baptist Church, Chatham, VA, where he was the pianist for several years and asked Christ into his heart in 1987 at age 5. Anthony graduated from Artistic Cosmetology College in 2014 with an Instructors Diploma. He was a talented cosmetologist and formed many lasting relationships with clients and co-workers that were like family to him. Anthony leaves behind his parents, Larry and Marie Reed; his brother, Zach and wife, Carrie; his awesome nephews, Noah, Hudson and West who held a special place in his heart; and his best friend and mentor, Ed Edris. His very special cat, Zak, will be lost without him. Due to current restrictions, there will be no formal funeral services. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in Anthony’s honor to the Danville Area Humane Society at 996 South Boston Rd, Danville Virginia 24540 as Anthony had a deep love for all animals. Wrenn-Yeatts Westover Chapel is respectfully serving the Reed family.
