George Ivan Reed

George Ivan Reed

78, a resident of Gentry, Arkansas, went to be with his Lord, August 14, 2006 at Springdale, Arkansas. He was born July 28, 1928 at Morrow, Arkansas, the son of Lloyd and Sarah Dorcas Cox Reed.

G.I., as many people referred to him, was a God-fearing and loving man. Through his acts of giving, he was instrumental in helping to purchase and build now existing churches in N.W. Arkansas and Texas. He received the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus name in Borger,

Texas, in the early 50's. A man whose steps were ordered by God, he remained a faithful Christian. His prayer life is an example for generations following. His generous heart was shown through his multiple giving to Tupelo Children's Mansion, Foreign Missions, Home Missions, Mother's Memorial and church building funds. His passing from this life has been a welcome home to the loving arms of Jesus where he walks on streets of gold with his son, Denise Reed and other friends and relatives. He will be greatly missed.

He was preceded in death by one son, Dennis Ivan Reed; his mother and father; three brothers, Harold Reed, Kenneth Reed, and Robert Reed.
