At 6'3" and 290lbs he had an undeniable presence…but he was kind, loving, funny, loyal and so much more to family and friends alike. Reid had a huge heart and would do absolutely anything for anyone! One of Reid's favorite quotes was, "Family, God & Football". Reid was raised Catholic and belonged to Holy Redeemer/St. Ann's Parish in West Newbury, Ma, where he received his confirmation.
