Vincent Reed Obituary

Family and friends of Vincent,
I returned from Christmas break only to find an email from Vincent's debate partner that he had passed. Vincent was a student in my speech class this past fall. I was so impressed with him! He was on time and present for every class, always did his homework, participated in everything going on in class and gave some of the best speeches of the semester. His example helped me so much! His classmates admired him as did I.....Pray for us,Vincent. Mary Baker

Marlene,

Marlene -

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You were a great Mom!! Take Care!

Marlene, I just found out about Vincent. I am truly sorry that you lost the love of your life. I feel like I knew him from all the talks we had. You and your family are in my prayers, Love Monica McClean

Marlene, I have never met you, our family loved your son. When we lived in Canton Vince was at our house every day, we went to church together watched movies together, he was our second son wonderful wonderful person. Vernon and Vince were always together best friends, when you moved away we were all so sad asking about Vincent all the time, he will truly be missed God has received a Angel. He will always be in our hearts.

Vince was one of my best friends. We met in College at Henry Ford. We did everything together. I have nothing but the best of memories of him. He was humble, caring, giving, and had a great sense of humor. We got saved together at Cornerstone Baptist Church in 2007. When he moved from Metro Detroit I was so dissapointed because we hung out so often. I made sure I called and text him and kept in contact. My family asked about him all the time. We all loved Vince! It was my pleasure to be his friend.

This was my beloved Godson and know that he will be missed. He did so much in his short time here on earth but it was a full life. I have a few little tears in my heart and now I have another little one with Lil Vincent's name on it.
Love you Godbaby, R.I.P., Auntie Net & Uncle Larryx.oxoxo

Marlene,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Vincent's passing. Although we haven't seen him in many years, we will always remember his playful smile and shining, vibrant personality. We pray that you find comfort in knowing he is at peace and that God is with you and your family at this difficult time.
Our thoughts are prayers are with you always.

Marlene,
So sad to hear about Vincent's passing - I have fond memories of him from Martin Luther Christian School.

Vincent,

It is always a given that a parent should not out live their children, but sometimes that happens. I pray that you keep God, family and friends close to you because sometimes life seems like it doesn't get better, but it get more tolerable for our grief. I see by all of the comments he was a great youngman so continue to keep him in your heart, along with God.

God Bless you and your family

Marlene,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Being a mother of two young boys myself, I can't begin to imagine your grief at this moment. What I do know is that God can handle all pain, grief, and sorrow. So what my words and sympathy can't heal, God's Love can so I pray that you look to Him for all you need. Eric and I pray for you daily and please don't be afraid to call upon us if you need anything during this time. I know Vincent is in a better place so have peace in that. We Love You!

My heart breaks for you knowing how proud you are of him and how much joy he brought to you..he inspired us all ..I had heard so much about him and when I finally got to meet him at the NBSC I knew then what a remarkable and talent young man he was....He will be with you daily, keep him alive with all of your wonderful memories...Love to you...

Marlene,
There are no words to express how sorry we are. It was a privilige to meet Vincent. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

To the family and friends at this most difficult time. When a dear loved one dies, their life's struggles with ups and downs comes to an end. However for the bereaved family it continues until the God of all comfort brings an end to all suffering pain and death. This he will do under his kingdom Rule. We pray for that kingdom to come in the model prayer recorded at Matthew 6:9, 10.
~A concerned person.

Marlene, I am truely sorry for your loss. Vincent will definitely be remembered as a bright and intellegent young man who brought a smile to everyone's face he met. I considered him as a little brother. I know what Vincent meant to you and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Both Lameika and I send our condolences, and you have our deepest sympathy. I keep remembering how well Vincent did with the speech at the NBSC and also the time I spent conversating with him. (Changing a tire on his car)and just mentoring him when I had the chance. Thanks for allowing me to spend time speaking with him as a older brother. God Bless You.

Marlene,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know how special "Vinnie" was in your life and the lives of so many others. Just being in his presence made one a better person. God has much bigger plans for Vincent and I know he will answer the Lord's calling.

Ms. Marlene,
I am Joe Cumpstons daughter, Anna, and it wasn't until I saw his picture that I realized Vince was your son. He was in my speech class this past semester at PPCC and I just adored him. He touched my life in a way I can't really explain. I am extremely heart broken to have heard of his passing. I have shed many tears this evening. I wish I couldve made the connection sooner. I will greatly miss him. My prayers are with you. Love, Anna Cumpston

Marlene,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Vincent was an extraordinary young man that has definitely shown an example of how we should all live our lives to the fullest and never let anything stop us.

I only had brief encounters with Vincent. But I will never forget that when he entered the room, even as a little boy, he brought light with him. That is something you are born with. That is one of his marks that will always be with us. My prayers are always with you Michelle. Rox

Marlene,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. "To be absent from the body is to be present with GOD" Your son will be missed by many!

Marlene, I can not tell you how saddened I was to hear that Vincent had passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless!

Marlene, our prayers are with you. The little time the kids had with Vinnie will always be in our hearts and memories.

Marlene, I was very saddened when I recieved the news of your sons passing. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I never had the opportunity to meet Vincent, but I can remember that anytime you spoke of him there was always a smile on your face. Know that your Greenville family is here for you.

Marlene,

I am so sorry for your loss. You are an incredible mom and Vincent lived an incredible life because of you.

Love,
Mary Fragale

Marlene,
If only I had the words to express my sympathy. You and your family are in my prayers. You will always be a great source of strength for those around you. I only hope that strength is returned to you during this time.

Marlene, I didn't have the honor of ever meeting your son, but the way your face would glow when you spoke of him and all his wonderful accomplishments, showed what a wonderful young man you raised. My heart hurts for you. You are truly an amazing women, your laugh and smile im sure made his day when he seen you, because you made mine. All my love and prayers.

Marlene - sending my prayers to you and your family. I am very sorry for your loss. May you find peace in this time of grief. God bless.

Marlene,

I didn't know your son personally, so I can't speak of him, but i was priviledged to know his Mother and if he was anything such as yourself, I'm sure he was an awesome young man. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your son. I can't say i understand what it feels like losing a child and i won't even begin to tell you what or how you must feel. Just know that in times such as these God will hold you in his arms keep you under his all protecting wings and keep your heart full of the fond memories of your son. If you dont remember me, I worked with you at the Greenville Business Center in Greenville SC (Valerie Gray-I was in ASU and you were in Customer Service, but we spoke often). I lost my father and my sister this year so the grief can and will at times seem overwhelming, but remember that God loves you and your family and he will make things better for you in time. With much Love and Sympathy.

My deepest condolences, Michelle, on your loss.

To my sweet, sweet Nephew. Love Aunt Chell.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

Marlene, you were truly a devoted and inspired mother. You comforted me in my time of trouble and I send you all my prayers, best wishes and comfort to you in this time of difficulty. May the Lord's hands be upon your hearts and spirits to guide and comfort you.
