James Fredric Reed was born on December 5, 2014 and from that day forward blessed so many lives. James was an adorable little cowboy that always had a smile on his face. He enjoyed riding horses, feeding the cows and horses, playing in the dirt that seemed to always show as a little dirt mustache, and adding to his large rock collection. He never hesitated to try new things, whether it included playing in the water at the lake, riding the tube behind the boats or scouting out the big game during the family hunting trips. Though his time was short, everyone James encountered, he left a lasting impression in their heart. Always chasing after his brothers and sister, James was loved and included with them all from the very beginning. The continuous smile was usually followed by a wiggly dancer who loved to dance to all sorts of music. A kid always after his mom’s heart, and the love of the Christmas season, Jingle Bells was his favorite song. A daddy’s boy working the cows and learning the way of a cowboy, James would be right by Dad’s side.
James is survived by his parent’s Katie Hansen and Vince MacDonald, Sister Samantha Reed, Brothers Trenton Wemmer, Kasey Reed, Jesse Reed and Tanner MacDonald. Grandmother’s Debi Jensen and Gloria Garcia. Uncle Wade (Cristina) Hansen, Uncle Rex (Codi) Jensen, Uncle Wally (Kristine) MacDonald, Uncle Tater (Taleah) MacDonald, Uncle Ryan (Mary ) Geer, Aunt Tara Harrington, Aunt Kara (Shane) Harrison, Aunt Krystee (Sean) George, Aunt Mindy (Eric) May, Special Uncle Doug Grandchamp, Terry Greyhawk, Ben Nelson. So many cousins and special friends that he touched, too many to list.
He is preceded in death by Grandpa Ray Hansen, Grandpa Gerald Jensen, and Grandpa Walter MacDonald.
