Dexter aka Strohreid left a message on October 14, 2022:
Dear God, I just want to thank you for giving me the Best Big Brother one could ever ask for. Michelle and you were at all life events involving my children and me . I will always will remember you being a shoulder to lean and cry on 11 years ago when my wife passed and our mother 10 years ago. Man, you were my best friend even though our younger years you never let me win at any games and constantly knocking me aside my head. One of my fondest memories was attending the now demolished “Front Row when you got us great seats to see Freddie Jackson, Envoge , and Luther. Michelle, Kathy, You, and Me laughed so hard when another concert attendee kept yelling, “Luther, You’re a Bad MoFo” and he was. Thank you so much for sharing your spiritual knowledge with me. Thanks for not letting me get involved too much with the “fast life” which I’ve always loved. Yep, you were right I was living dangerously. Thanks for helping me keep the Reid legacy of ALWAYS being well dressed. As Michelle would say , “ There go them damn Reid’s “ clean to the nine. Most importantly for being the Patriarch of our family for the last 22 years. Since I’ve become the Patriarch of our family, your shoes I could never fill. We spoke my phone every day on so many topics. Father in heaven I know all of are on loan by you to our families. I know Polk Chain aka Jazz belonged to you. I not only lost my only brother, but, my best friend. No one could ever take your place. Inshallah, I’ll see you again soon on the other side. I will love you until the day I stop breathing and we’re united in heaven. Trust and believe I will always be there for Michelle , DC, and Asia the same way you were there for my wife and kids. Tell Mom , Dad and Grandad hello for me . Just know a big part of me died when God called you home suddenly. Thanks for Everything, Love and Miss you so, so, much. Now for me “1” remains the loneliest number. Love Always, Stroh ???✌?

My memories and love to Michelle in remembrance of the good times we had together with Darryl and Will. I loved that we were neighbors in Oakwood Village and I recall that Michelle, who is an AKA, gave me my first elephant when I became a Delta. I remember us celebrating Darryl and Will's birthday together (June 15). As neighbors, we had so many good times together. Your children - beautiful and accomplished. Michelle thank you and Darryl for the years of love and friendship. My love and condolences to the family. Hopefully, Darryl and Will are doing the happy time together in the place called Heaven.

My deepest condolences to the Reid Family. I am sorry for the loss of Darryl aka Jazz. I have many fond memories of Mr. Barnes, Bill, Edith, and Darryl when I visited them in VA as a youth. To me, Darryl and Dexter were like the coolest big brothers. I appreciate the love they gave to a younger brother like me. I pray you will find comfort in remembering the time Darryl was among you as a husband, father, brother, and friend.

Dear Michelle, DC, Asia and Dexter: We are sincerely sorry to hear Darryl passed. The Reid's have been like family to us for decades. We grew up together in Norfolk, Virginia. Darryl was a special man. Always kind, great smile, compassionate and warm-hearted. He was well liked by many and not a stranger to anyone. While it's understandable, it's a very difficult time for you all, be assured his spirit lives. DC and Asia, take the time to cherish and share your most special memories of your Father with others and silently when you are not so strong. Michelle, you and Darryl shared a marriage for over forty years. Indeed it is a testimony of your love, dedication, and respect for each other. You both had something special. Dexter, we have experienced so much together. We are here for you anytime. You are never alone. We all will miss Darryl dearly and our heavenly Father has him now. We are here for you all however you need us and will continue to lift all your names up in prayer.
