Gregory Allen Reed

Gregory Allen Reed 1958-2022. Gregory Allen Reed of Gulfport passed into the loving arms of Jesus on Saturday, September 24 after a head injury from falling on Thursday. He suffered from COPD for years. He generously gave the ultimate gift of life by being an organ, eye and tissue donor and continues to live on in the lives of others. Greg was born in Long Beach on November 15, 1958. Most of his life, Greg was a mechanic and handyman and also worked on the Mississippi River on tugboats and worked his way to be a Captain. Greg was also a faithful member of Antioch Baptist Church of Long Beach. His love of life was evident in his joy of riding Harley Davidson motorcycles, flying remote control planes, fishing, hunting and boating. He lived life to the fullest and his gift of life as a donor demonstrates his love of life for his friends and family and for those unknown to him. Greg was preceded by his parents, Charles B.
