Reid William Marchand

July 20, 2017

Beloved son Reid Marchand passed away suddenly on Thursday, July 20, 2017.

Filled with a love for friendship and compassion, Reid enjoyed being with his friends. Reid is survived by his parents Denise Marchand (McClenaghan) and Greg Marchand; his grandparents Pat and Joe Marchand and Bill and Frances McClenaghan; his Aunts and Uncles:  Brad and Danielle, Mark and Ana, Julie and Bob and Keith and Sue; and cousins Craig, Shane, Tyler, Sydney, Adam and Nicolas.
