Charles B Reid

Charles Bernard “Buddy” Reid was the oldest son of Geraldine Adams Reid.  Born and reared in Colleton County, he was born on February 22, 1968, and died October 16, 2020.  Buddy entered the US Army upon graduating High School; where he served in the school’s marching band.  Buddy was an Air Crewman aboard US Army helicopters serving in Operation Desert Storm. After leaving active duty, Buddy moved to Daytona Beach, Fla in 1995 to work with Adams concrete for many years, then recently worked for J&D Construction as a foreman doing cement masonry. He was a Florida gator football fan, loved NASCAR racing. He grew up hunting.

Buddy will be missed for his many stories; some he would embellish, all because he loved the hearers to laugh and be happy.

Buddy’s memories will live on with all who knew him because Buddy was “that kind of a guy.” Specific and warmest memories are attributed to his family: a son, Charles Reid, Jr.; and Daughters,

Tiffany Maxwell, Daneshia Henderson, and Jasmine Wilson.  Siblings: Dr. Arlene (Thomas) Shider, Blanche (Joseph) Hamilton, Redell (Eric) Dungey, Daniel (Alean) Wright Uncles: Joe (Mattie) Adams, George (Lou Ann) Adams; Aunts: Essie Mae James (God Mother), Angela (Isaac) Ladson along with several grandchildren, nephews, nieces, friends and coworkers.

The family expresses so much appreciation for the phone calls, texts, and cards of remembrance.  May you always smile when you think of our father, grandfather friend, brother, and our “Buddy.”

Graveside Service will be Friday, October 30, 2020, 11 am at Buzzard Roost Cemetery, in Jacksonboro, SC.
