In Loving Memory of Dylan James Reed

March 28, 1978 – January 3, 2025

With profound sadness and broken hearts, we announce the passing of Dylan James Reed, of Edinboro, PA (formerly State College, PA) who left this world far too soon entering his final eternal resting place on January 3, 2024, at the age of 46.

Dylan was born March 28, 1978, in Coudersport, PA, the son of Roger Reed and the late Constance Kandare (Seger).

Dylan was a graduate from Coudersport High School, class of 1996. After graduating Dylan became a dedicated professional in management and sales, where he built strong relationships and earned the respect of clients and colleagues alike with his charisma and ability to connect with people effortlessly.

Dylan’s life extended far beyond his work. His life was filled with the things he loved most. Dylan was passionate about all things wine, liquor and beer. He was a fierce supporter of Penn State Football and the New York Mets. He also had a lifelong love of NASCAR, especially the #9 car (Chase Elliot) whom he admired. Dylan found great joy and peace in the outdoors, spending unforgettable time hunting and camping at the Glen.

At the center of Dylan’s heart was his family and beloved dog, Baxter. Dylan adored his sister with whom he shared an unbreakable bond filled with love and admiration. His faithful dog, Baxter, was his loyal companion, bringing him constant joy and comfort. Dylan’s playful spirit and deep affection for Baxter were clear to all who knew him.

Dylan was known for his infectious smile and vibrant personality that could brighten even the darkest of days. His magnetic personality and kind spirit made him a friend to all and a source of happiness wherever he went. Dylan’s passing leaves an immeasurable void, but his kindness, love and joy will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Dylan is survived by his father, Roger Reed of Dubois, PA and his sister Ashley (Reed) Cary, brother-in-law Ben Cary and nephews Landon (13), Rylan (11), Brooks (9) and Cade (6) of Pittsburgh, PA. Dylan was preceded in death by his mother, Constance “Connie” Kandare, cherished grandmother Bonnabell “Bonnie” Reed and his beloved dog Cosmo.

In keeping with Dylan’s wishes there will be no visitation or services.

A Celebration of Life will be held in both State College and Coudersport at a date and time to be determined.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Centre County PAWs in Dylan’s memory.

Rest Easy, Dylan. You will be forever missed, always loved and never forgotten. Your memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved you.
