Deacon Johnny Lee Reed was born on May 19, 1944 in Marion, South Carolina to the late Esau and Lizzie Mae Legette Reed. He peacefully departed this earthly life to be with our heavenly Father on Saturday, September 3, 2016. He was predeceased by his parents, Esau and Lizzie Reed; a daughter-in-law, Naomi Reed.
He was affectionately known as “Lucky” to his family and friends and as “Deac” to his church family. Johnny married his loving wife of 53 years, JoElla Samuel Reed, on July 9, 1963. Their union was blessed with three children: Zachary, Reginald and his baby, girl, Charmaine Reed.
For more than 30 years, he was employed with The City of Columbia as a heavy equipment operator until his retirement in 2005. He was a dedicated employee who was recognized as being the “best” equipment operator. Deacon Reed attended St. Mark Baptist Church on Chestnut Street and later moved his membership to Young’s Chapel Baptist Church where he has served as a deacon for over 30. “Deac” was dearly loved by all of his church family. He was a true solider for Christ and was especially known for his prayers. Johnny was also known for his delicious barbeque and deer meat that everyone loved.
