Dexter and Annie with his Mother and Father

Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery

Good morning Dexter has always been a role model for the younger friends in his circle he reinforced in me personally to always have a job. Be on time and give it your best. He also knew how to have fun. I remember one night we had went out to the lake and we had some drinks and on the way home Dexter decided to show people the moon from the car window well not everyone was happy to see his moon and told him just that from the sidewalks, only adding to the already hilarious event I think someone actually threw something at him and we were already on the floor inside the car laughing. But he was also very protective of the people he loved I think he would have died to protect us. He will always have a special place in my heart it was Dexter that encouraged me and his brother Jeff to join the military. He’ll truly be missed. Rest in Love your brother forever Jay. 

My heart goes out to you for the loss uncle Dexter . I hope his happy memories will help all through this difficult time. Theres no hurt that heaven cant heal. The Banks and Reed family will always be our family (Conn, Thomas). Sending love to you and all of you with deepest sympathy! Taryn 

Dexter Reed was a loving, caring, and terrific father. I don't know anything much to say except that I will always love him and miss him, and never forget his generosity. Love you always Dad, your baby boy, Andre.

Sgt. Dexter Gordon Reed was a man and soldier of great dignity, honor, and respect. He believed in courage, strength, and order.The entire time as I knew him as my husband for 13 years He served the United States Army in the MOS as a Soldier in Infantry 11th Bravo the time he served. 
The many places I know he served were:
Germany, Fort Benning GA, Korea, Fort Knox KY, Hawaii (Schofield Barracks), Fort Drum NY. Operations Delta Storm & The  Persian Gulf…
I thank God for the privilege and opportunity that God allowed me share life  with Sgt. Reed. 
We had the opportunity to travel places in the United States as a family. The Memories and Legacy he leaves will always be cherished.  He served his country and others well as he had the chance. He fought the good fight until his transition to his new life.   Dexter has the Victory in Jesus.

Love your Wife Annie. 


Dea. Reed was and will always be on the wall. Rest in God’s arms. 

Dexter Reed was the chairman of the deacon board at Damascus M.B. Church aka Spiritual Emergency Room. He served vigilantly and was an asset and essential to praise of Almighty GOD every Sunday. We loved him vehemently and he will be missed most emphatically. Our hearts are broken but we joy because he is eternally with the lord. REST ON DEACON DEXTER REED

Twelve years have gone by sine I met Deacon Reed! We had our good days and our better days! I enjoyed being in his company. He liked to make things go correctly! He was fun when it was time to have fun and business when there a task at hand. I will miss him and his fake fussing. 
I am glad to have had those good times with him. 

I think I can speak for Deacon’s church family, He will be missed! 


Dexter was like a father to me and my son, I thank God for allowing him into my life, I will cherish the memories we shared and he will for ever hold a special place in my heart.
