OBITUARIES
James “Jamie” Marlon Reed
August 27, 1935 – January 16, 2022
BOWIE – James “Jamie” Marlon Reed, 86, Bowie, TX, went home to be with the Lord on Jan. 16, 2022.
The family will have a private service for their church family to whom Jamie belonged as their pastor and family. The family knows everyone will respect that and not try to attend as sickness is bad at the moment. They also ask that if any of the church family or family has any symptoms of it (sinus issues, sore throat, watery eyes and think it is just an allergy) anything, please do not attend.
Jamie was born on Aug. 27, 1935 to Jess and Ruby (Ramsey) Reed. He had four brothers, Cotton, Leon, J.W. and Glen and they grew up in Bowie.
Jamie joined the Army in 1950 and was sent to Thule, Greenland to help guard the airbase there. That was some experience for a young man raised in small town, Bowie.
He was a cowboy with everything of his being and went to work on the 6666 ranch in Guthrie in 1956. He loved every minute of the ranch life and wanted to stay there, but it was not God’s will for Jamie to be a lifetime ranch hand.
Joyce met Jamie on March 10, 1973. It was love at first sight for both of them and they were married five months later on Aug. 17. Joyce Cason became Joyce Reed and for 48 years, they were ‘one flesh.’
In 1982, the couple started attending East Side Baptist Church, and by 1994, Jamie was called to be a pastor. Now God had Jamie where He wanted him- serving Him as a pastor.
Jamie had a great heart for our youth and diligently took them to camps so they could see the power of God working in the lives of other young people. God gave Jamie a great burden for lost souls and East Side Baptist supports 40 missionaries today all over the world.
Jamie has ministered to so very many people in Bowie and surrounding areas through funerals. He has comforted so many and always presented the plan of salvation in case someone there needed to be saved.
Bowie is a better community because of the prayers, love, and hard work to others that Jamie ministered through the Lord. He always prayed for the Lord to help him make the Lord a better hand than he did the devil. I believe the Lord honored that request many times over.
Through seven stents, cancer, triple bypass surgery, a pacemaker, an aortic valve replacement and another pacemaker/defibrillator device, Jamie showed everyone that you can continue to serve God – no matter what comes your way. His motto always was, “It’s all about Him.” The only way we matter is by serving God.
He will be greatly missed but he is now where his heart has always been. He fought a good fight. He finished his course and did what he could.
To meet Jamie at Heaven’s gates were his son, Byron and grandson, James Warren.
Jamie is survived by the love of his life, Joyce (Cason) Reed; son, Floyd and wife, Rhonda; grandson, Matthew Reed and wife, Brandy; daughter-in-law, Myrna; grandchildren, Rowdy Reed and C.J. Reed and wife, Ashely (McCarvel) Reed; granddaughter-in-law, Ashley (Houston) Reed; great-grandchildren, Colby Reed, Chloe Reed and Bodie Reed and wife, Colee (Cole) Reed, Piper Reed and Adam Reed, Mason and Carter; and great-great-grandchild, Olivia.
We will miss him, but we will see him again. To know Jamie Reed was a blessing and a privilege. Thank God for his life.
