Charles Richard Reid, Jr.

Charles Reid Jr, affectionately known as “Chuck”, departed this life on May 18, 2024 at the Hospice of the Piedmont in Charlottesville, Virginia.  
 

Chuck was born on January 29, 1974, to Charles Reid Sr. and the Late Pearl Reid in Killeen, Texas.  
 

Charles Reid Sr is a retired member of the Armed Services, so Chuck saw the world at an early age.  He grew up in the church and was baptized at Salem Baptist Church.  Chuck attended Buckingham High School and later received his GED from Job Corps.   
 

He moved to the Washington Metro area in 2000 where he met and married DeSaune. He always wanted to work for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).  He took the training needed to receive his CDL and had been an employee of WMATA since 2003.   
 

Chuck was a family person and he and DeSaune loved to travel.  They traveled everywhere, from Paris, New Orleans, Chicago, Dominican Republic, just to name a few.  Chuck enjoyed every minute of his life.  If you knew him, you knew, that he got what he wanted and did whatever he wanted to do and he worked hard to do so. 
 

He was preceded in death by his mother, Pearl Reid; maternal grandparents, Maggie and Burton Fowler Sr.; paternal grandparents, Lucille and Frank Mason Reid.
