The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

Even Though

Even though I never met Reid I was greatly saddened by the news.  I do know his sister Ray from way back and she would tell me that her brother and I shared a similar passion for Brazilian Jiu JItsu.  She said he was really good but I just thought that's what all sisters say, but after reading about him, seeing photos, and watching some tournament footage, I know she wasn't just boasting, he was legit. I could also tell by his demeanor that he's the type of person you want to train with when you go to class.  Having been in the art for almost a decade now I have a good sense of those with attitude and those who have been humbled by the enormity of Jiu JItsu; I can sense that with Reid he possessed the latter.  Sounded like he passed on shortly after rolling so if it's any consolation it appears he left this world doing what he loved and that's rare.  All my best. -Mike Geronsin
