Donald J. Reed, 54, of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and a former resident of Rhinelander, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at his home.
Don was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on March 17, 1967, to Donald J and Dianne L. (Jones) Reed.
Being from a military family, D.J. lived in various locations until the age of thirteen. The family eventually settled in Rhinelander. Don enlisted in the United States Army, proudly serving his country for three years. He had a free spirit for travel and this led him to different parts of our country. For a time, he lived in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho and eventually settled in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin in 2016. He was currently employed as a Project Manager with Metso Minerals Industries Inc.
D.J. was an All American in the 82nd Airborne Division and a very active member of the NRA. His favorite pastimes were camping, hiking, shooting at the pistol range and spending time with his two dogs, Eruanna and Femka.
He will be dearly missed and will be remembered for his patriotism, his love for his country and being proud to be an American.
He was survived by his father, Donald J. Reed of Rhinelander; brother, Jeffrey (Lisa) Reed of Portsmouth, Virginia; sisters, Angela (Ryan) Kabat of Fairbanks, Alaska, Christina Reed of Rhinelander, and Rebecca Reed of Rhinelander; nieces and nephews, Jeff and Josh Reed, Annika Kabat, Marcus Reed-Thorsen, Dylan, Madalynn and Layne Roeser and Noah Reed; and his four-legged companions, Eruanna and Femka.

He was preceded in death by his mother Dianne Reed.
