Bryce was passionate about All things Harry Potter:
In this house
We believe in magic
We use the marauders map to guide our way
We board The Hogwarts Express at platform 9 ¾
We are Beaters, Keepers, Chasers, and Seekers
We know the snitch opens at the close and
Lost things have a way of coming back
We know the sorting hat has never been wrong
The ones that love us never really leave
We remember that we all have magic inside of us
Because in this house
We do Harry Potter! Always
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Bryce John Reid 2020..

I am so saddened to hear this news – my sincere condolences to Bryce’s family. As a Guidance Counsellor at Oakridge during his years there – I have fond memories of him. He was an outstanding young man. He was a role model and treated everyone with kindness and respect. May his memory be eternal.
Bryce was one of the first people I became friends with at Kensal Park. He was so kind and always had room for one more person in his heart and in his day. I remember our days together on the playground fondly – we both loved writing, we both loved Harry Potter, we both had big plans for what we wanted to do in the world. He was an ambitious, friendly and warm person that will be missed greatly by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
I’m sad to hear this news. Bryce was such a dedicated and positive person to be around. He inspired so many to work hard, follow their passions, and be kind to one another. It was a honour teaching and learning from Bryce. Deepest condolences. Thinking of you.
