At the age of 45, John was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He was his own strongest advocate for his health and faced the challenges that came with the diagnosis head-on by learning everything he could about the disease and seeking out the latest in treatments. He was in remission for a time and he continued to do the things that brought him the most joy: poetry and songwriting, participating in and watching theater, and playing guitar.
John was preceded in death by his father, Donald Reed and his mother, Martha Jane Reed. He leaves to cherish his memory "his angel", sister, Elizabeth Reed Hoskins; his nieces, Rebecca (Ryan) Watson and Natalie Hoskins; his nephew, Bryan Powers and the love of his life, Michele Bondi. He will be missed by innumerable extended family and friends who filled his days with faith, creativity, laughter, and love.
