I thought everyone would want to know that George Reid passed unexpectedly Friday. I was part of a post, and I'm going to copy and paste what his wife posted...RIP my friend...
Karla Scoon Reid with George Reid
I am heartbroken to write this: My beloved George died unexpectedly Friday. George and our beautiful boys were my whole world. I know George touched the lives of many, many people in his tragically short 47 years. Today, I spent much of my time trying to reach out to you individually. I’m so sorry to those of you whom I was unable to talk to personally. But know this: George loved you. He was your champion. He was your advisor. Your counselor. Your friend. Now, I ask that you help George continue to father his sons – Quinn and Devin. In the past 10 years, as soon as our son Quinn was born, George fed our children a steady diet of what it takes to be a good man---caring man --- a loving man---a strong man---a kind man. His lessons are found in the inspirational sayings that are taped up on the walls of our home, like the following which Quinn pointed to just last night: “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.” When these nightmarish family tragedies happen, we’re always asked what can we do? I know. I’ve felt helpless when others have suffered losses as profound as mine. So know this: Quinn & Devin have lost more than their father. They lost their hero. Their sun. Their moon. No one can replace George. But I ask all of you to be there for my precious boys. They need to not just hear the life lessons about strong and kind men but they need to be with strong and kind men to know what it takes to be just like their Daddy --- the irreplaceable George Reid. Keep the boys in your prayers. I will post information about funeral arrangements in the coming days. George is counting on you. Rest in Peace baby. I love you.

What a shock. Extremely sorry to receive this sad news.

RIP George

I am really sorry to hear this. It is hard to believe that Sean Carlson, Robert and George have died within the last two years not to mention everything John Rhodes has been through.

Every once and awhile George would show up and play in the middle court at the old Grove Center. I'd often get sucked into that court due to my height and he'd just toy with me. And he was nice about it. Knew I couldn't hang. Would let me get some shots off and etc. Didn't embarrass me.

I just remember him being a good dude. Such a bummer to hear.

(And, scares the crap out of me as we are basically the same age.)

I just came across this memorial page and thought I would share it with you guys. It seems as though he had a heart attach.

Here's a current post from a coworker at USC. She's set up a go fund me for George's boys.
