Benjamin Keith Reed

Benjamin Keith Reed, 64, of Hixson Tennessee fought a great fight but the Lord called him home early Thursday morning. Ben was a graduate of Hixson High School that served as a member of the National Guard before returning to Chattanooga. He spent several years working for DuPont and Mueller Company. He was a devout outdoorsman that loved spending his mornings in the woods and his nights on the lake. Most importantly though, he was a man that loved life and loved people. He had a heart for helping and serving others. He served as a mentor to many, a great friend, a son, a brother, an uncle and above all else a husband and father.

Ben was preceded in death by his father, C. Ashley Reed, mother and step-father, Jeanette and Bob Ridge, brother, Gary Wayne Reed and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 25 years, Connie Ann Reed, daughter, Ashley Nicole Reed, mother and father in-law, Barbra and Gene Aldridge, brother and sister in-law, Chris and Rhonda Smith, sister in-law, Mary Reed, aunt, Mary Jane Wolfe, aunt and uncle, Jim and Juanita Boston and several nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at Chattanooga Funeral Home-North Chapel on Sunday, March 6. Receiving of family and friends will take place from 2:00-4:00 pm and a memorial service will take place after, at 4:00.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of Chattanooga in Ben’s name.
