Reed, Jr. a member in good standing of Relief Hose Company #3 since October 31, 1991. Firefighter Reed lost his battle with bone cancer in the early evening hours of Sunday, July 24, 2005 at his residence surrounded by his loved ones.

Reed, Jr. was a member of the St. Lawrence County Fire Chiefs Association, Northern New York Volunter Firemen's Association, St. Lawrence County Fire Police Association, New York State Volunteer Fire Police Association, and the Firemen's Association of the State of New York. Guy contributed greatly to the Potsdam Fire Department's fire prevention program and was a valued member of the Safety Team at the George E.
