King "Bodineen" Raytheon Reed

King “Bodineen” Raytheon Reed,

 It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved King, or “Bodi” as family calls him. King left us unexpectedly, and far too soon on August 17, 2024, at the age of four-years-old. He was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by Gabriel Reed and Melissa Herron. King was the firstborn and oldest child of four to his parents. King brought joy, happiness and light to everyone who knew him. Just one encounter was enough to affect anyone who met him in a miraculous way..

  Though King was nonverbal due to Autism, he had no problems expressing himself through his gentle presence, his curious eyes, and infectious spirit. He had a deep love for music and would often be found with his tablet, immersed in his favorite rap and country songs. King would be listening intently with the tablet held next to his ear, and he would be lost in the melodies that he adored repeating and replaying certain parts and beats never missing a thing; enjoying the sounds, every detail and taking it all it. When King wasn’t listening to his music which was rare, it was because he was watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse or roadster racers, another favorite of his. His also loved his snacks; Goldfish, Oops berries cereal, Fruit loops, Hot cheetos and marshmallows sometimes even a ice cream here and there; he had food aversions so just the progress he made to eat those different foods was something. King was such a silly, curious, outgoing, happy and courageous babyboy..

  King was and still is a big blessing to his family as he departs to heaven he's living through his parents Gabriel and Melissa also his younger siblings Love, Saint, and Heaven; who cherish, love and miss him so deeply. It is the goal of King's family to assure he is never forgotten. His smile, laughter, humourous and beautiful self. He was otherworldly. God had other plans for King, ones we couldn't and didn't foresee. "Bodi" is with the angels; he's God's little helper now.. 

 Due to King's family’s wishes the services for "Bodi" will be private. Thank you for understanding while they get through this trying and difficult time.
