David C. Reed

March 20, 1954 - April 10, 2015

David Reed, long-time resident of Vallejo was taken from us far too soon on April 10, 2015 at his home in Paradise. He and his twin brother, Larry, were born in Arlington, VA on March 20, 1954 to LCDR F. Warren Reed USN and Ellen Reed. David and his five siblings Larry, Cathy, Lon, Mike and Richard lived for much of their childhood in Hawaii, Japan, Colorado and Vallejo. David's family returned from Japan in 1964 and took up residence on Mare Island for three years until David's father retired from the Navy. The family settled in Vallejo allowing him to develop many friendships, which he maintained for the rest of his life. He graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in 1972 and from Chico State in 1977. After college David remained in Chico and eventually relocated to Paradise with his longtime partner, Pamela Thornton. David's career in retail merchandising required frequent travel to locations throughout Northern California. He divided his weekly residence between Paradise and Vallejo where he lived with his twin brother, Larry. He had numerous interests and things that were special to him. He lovedfishing, camping, reading, his pet rabbits, his dog Shelby, his homes in Paradise and Vallejo, the 49ers and the Giants, Lake Tahoe, rock concerts, preparing sumptuous meals for family and friends, telling stories of his adventures, talking with friends and much more. David loved life. David was loved for his friendly, helpful and generous nature. If someone needed help he could be counted on to be there. Once David made a friend, they remained friends for life. David is survived by his siblings: Larry Reed, Cathy Schaller (Bob), Lon Reed (Karen), Mike Reed and his nieces and nephews: Sean Reed (Marci), Patty Schaller, Michael Schaller, David Reed (Kristine), Rachel Reed, Daniel Reed (Dana) and Davey Reed. He was preceded in death by his parents, Warren Reed and Ellen Reed, and his brother Richard. A service and celebration of David's life will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, April 25th at Twin Chapels Mortuary, 1100 Tennessee St., Vallejo. We miss you terribly David. Cremation and arrangements entrusted to the direction and care of Twin Chapels Mortuary, Vallejo (707) 552-6696. www.TwinChapelsMortuary.com.
