David Earl Reid March 15, 1959 – August 17, 2026 David Earl Reid, 67, of Waco Texas, passed away on August 17, 2026. Born on March 15, 1959, in Waco, Texas, David lived a life defined by hard work, loyalty, and, above all, an unwavering love for his family. David was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 41 years, Jeannine E. Davis-Reid, who passed away in June 2025. Their love and devotion to one another were at the heart of David’s life. Though the months following her passing were undoubtedly different without her by his side, those who loved David find comfort in knowing that he and Jeannine are together once again. David was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. He is survived by his daughter Amanda Davis Fry; grandsons Anthony Davis and his wife, Alysa Davis, Cody Purcell, Christian Purcell, Alex Pitmann and Hunter Fry; and great-grandsons Brayden Davis and Nathaniel Davis. He is also survived by his daughter Rebecca Duncan and her husband, Mark Duncan, and grandsons Griffin Shropshire and Connor Shropshire. David is also survived by his sister, Linda L. Dietz, and brother’s, Jerry W. Reid and Billy Ray Hubbard. He was preceded in death by his mother, Wanda L. Reid; his father, William B. Reid; and his brother Larry Don Hubbard. For 22 years, David worked for Darden Building Materials, serving in several roles throughout his career, including driver, yard foreman, and dispatcher. David was a hardworking and loyal man who took pride in what he did. His coworkers at Darden became far more than coworkers—they became his second family. The friendships and relationships he built there were an important part of his life. David will be remembered for the way he loved those closest to him, the loyalty he showed to family and friends, and the many years he devoted to providing for the people he loved. His absence leaves a space that cannot be filled, but the memories, stories, lessons, and love he leaves behind will continue through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends. While saying goodbye is never easy, there is peace in imagining David reunited with Jeannine—his one true love. After a lifetime of loving one another, they are together again. David was deeply loved, and he will be deeply missed. His life and the love he gave will never be forgotten.
