George E. Reed was born on July 21, 1951, in Cincinnati, OH to Edna Belle and George Franklin Reed. He moved to Tulsa, OK as a teenager with his mother, stepfather John Redding, and brother Mike Redding. He passed away peacefully at his home in Owasso, OK, on July 18, 2019.

George was a devoted husband of 44 years to Lynn, a loving father to Brian and Shannon, a doting father-in-law to Amanda, and a proud grandpa to Matthew Reed. He is also remembered with love by his siblings, Mike Redding, Steven Reed and Karen Buchannon and their families, and by his many friends and business acquaintances.

George was a successful mechanical engineer in the gas compression industry for over 37 years.  His contributions included finding innovative solutions to extreme design applications world-wide.

George had many hobbies, including fishing, slot car racing, shooting, reading magazines, and spending quality time with his family.  He is most remembered for his brilliant mind, strong moral compass, wisdom, and a loving, stoic nature.  You would often see him with an engaging smile and his Yankees ball cap.   George had a contagious smile that was brought on by seeing his family succeed and love one another.  He cultivated a protective environment for his family and his love was never-ending.

Although his passing is met with a profound sorrow; his life and memories will continue in our hearts, fill us with joy, and guide our futures. Friends may honor George's memory with donations to Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School located at 1419 N 67th E Ave, in Tulsa, OK, 74115 to uphold his affinity for education and love for children.
