Oscar was raised in Evergreen, Alabama by his parents, Allen and Bessie Reed, and with five siblings, James (deceased), Edith Nell (deceased), John, Phillip, and Louis. He was a restaurateur and baker in the Huntsville area before moving his family to Gulf Shores in 1975. Many will remember Oscar from his many years working at Gulf Shores BP, Nolan’s, or Coastal Flowers and Design, but he did so much more than those jobs.

He loved his family. He sacrificed for them. He demonstrated God’s love and grace to them all and tried to be the best example he could be for them. Oscar was a man who was passionate about life. He loved people. He loved being around them and sharing his stories with them. He loved to laugh and his smile was infectious. He enjoyed traveling and, more importantly, loved planning every finite detail of his trips, even at the dismay of his family and travel companions. Cookbooks, gardening, and spoiling grand dogs were his favorite hobbies and he loved to just spend time walking nature trails, hiking mountains, or anywhere else it could just be him and God. His life was a testament to the quiet strength of lovingkindness. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. Oscar H. Reed lived and loved. In honor of Oscar’s love of people, his church, and fellowship, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Lagoon Baptist Church for the remodeling of their Fellowship Hall.
