Dean Reid, of Parksley, was “a comedian from the day he was born.” The baby of the family kept his parents and sisters entertained with jokes. He amused his friends, and eventually his own household. Reid always had a smile and a story to brighten the lives of those around him. That was the way he lived his life. He laughed his way through.
Tragically, the 53-year-old’s fun came to an end around 9 p.m. Saturday, July 3, when he attended a holiday/birthday party, in Deep Creek, and was shot and killed while trying to stop an argument.
