John A. Reid
November 2, 1955 — August 26, 2022
John A. Reid, age 66, resident of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Friday, August 26, 2022. He was born on November 2, 1955, in Simcoe, Ontario, to John and June Reid.
Born in Canada, John and his family came to the United States on the Palm Sunday tornado in 1964 and began a life in Toledo, Ohio. He graduated from Start High School, class of 1974, and furthered his education at the University of Toledo and Spring Arbor University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Management of Human Resources. John was working at The Toledo Hospital, where he was a respiratory therapist for 42 years. He was dedicated and loyal to his work. A very social and active guy, John enjoyed golfing, fishing, riding his bike and taking long bike rides across states, and working out, which he even did when he became ill. John also loved seeing his friends, Vince and his wife, Kristen, at their farm, where he would help in any way he could. Most of all, John loved his family dearly and cherished the moments spent with them. A dedicated father, son, brother, worker, and friend, he will be missed by all who knew him.
Those left to forever cherish his memory are his two loving sons, Jerry (Lidia) Reid and Ross (Jessica) Reid; mother, June M. (Leitch) Reid; sister, Christine (Richard) Sinkey; aunt, Nancy Harnischfeger; step-daughter, Bisan Ashab; and many friends, colleagues, and loved ones.
John was preceded in death by his father, John "Jack" A. Reid; and a brother, Dan Reid.
Family and friends may visit at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4150 West Laskey Road, Toledo, Ohio 43623, on Friday, September 2, 2022, from 2:00 pm until 8:00 pm.
