It is with a heavy heart that on the eve of his 58th birthday, I announce the recent passing of (John) Scott Reid.
Beloved father of Derek and Blake, son of Noreen, brother of Robin (Keith), uncle of Kyle (Brianna), friend to many and the one who I called “husband” for almost 20 years. Scott is predeceased by his father Donald and brothers David and Jimmy.
Scott was a man who loved with his whole heart and felt everything deeply. Traits which he learned from his loving mother with whom he was especially close to throughout his life.
He enjoyed fishing, camping and the outdoors, was never afraid of the hottest chicken wings or the wildest roller coaster and loved to hit the road in his ‘vette or on his motorcycle. Above anything else though was his love for our boys. Whether talking sports, cheering them on at hockey, soccer, karate or any of the other many activities and endeavors they pursued, challenging them to see who could eat the most at an all-you-can-eat buffet or just hanging out with them in front of the TV, they were his pride and joy.
Scott, you will be forever missed but I have to believe that you are in a better place and still keeping an eye on the “boyz” from wherever you are.
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Scott Reid Saturday July 24th 2021..
Death notice for the town of: , Province: Ontario
Today I was thinking about Scotty. I usually just text him however I do know he won’t answer. There was actually a few months where I was trying to get a hold of him, but I didn’t know of his passing. I travel a lot but when I met Scotty he and I instantly became “besties!” (As I would say). He was a client at a bar I worked at and prayed everyday to see him walk through the front door. During Covid he was the only person I was “allowed” to see due to my family’s “bubble”. He was my buddie to keep me sane, my person who I could come over anytime with beers and he would offer me a chair, he was the best neighbour god could have given me. Scotty was truly the man who brought joy to my life, even when I was travelling I used to send texts here and there. He would always update me and I would do the same. I miss him so dearly, I didn’t know if the passing until a few months ago and my heart and soul have never been the same. I wish I was there a bit longer for some more laughs and beers but I know he’s laughing at me crying saying “come on Em! It’s okay” like he would always say.
Apologizes to the family that we’ve never met but I hope you have peace in your hearts & know that he’s probably riding his bike in the paradises of heaven.
Thank you and Miss you so much Scotty
