Obituary of Julian Reed

Julian Buckley Reed was born on September 21, 1991 in Bethlehem, PA to Kelly and Joy Reed. He was the grandson of Bill and Evelyn Buckley and Robert and Marjorie Reed. He was a graduate of Parkland High School and Tennessee State University where he earned a Bachelors in Business Administration and Management. Julian was employed by Color Burst Landscapes for over 7 years. He began his career there while he was still in college as a landscape crew member and advanced into the position of Business Development/Project Manager.

Julian recently became engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Alexis Waller, whom he adored and cherished. He had an infectious chuckle that made his eyes sparkle. He enjoyed working on his 1985 Monte Carlo, traveling to the Caribbean, and spending time with his beloved canine, JoJo.
