It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jamal Reed, who was born on April 5, 1989, and passed away on June 14, 2023. Jamal was a beloved member of the Newark, New Jersey community, and his presence will be sorely missed by all those who knew him.

Jamal was a loving father to two children, whose names we respectfully leave out of this obituary. He cherished his role as a parent and did all he could to provide for his family. Jamal was a hardworking man who took pride in his work and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Jamal had a passion for music, and he loved to listen to a wide range of genres. He was often seen with his headphones on, lost in the rhythm and melody of his favorite songs. He also loved to play basketball and was an active member of several local teams.

Those who knew Jamal knew him to be a kind, gentle, and compassionate person. He had a heart of gold and was always willing to go out of his way to help others. Jamal had a contagious smile that lit up a room, and he had a way of making everyone feel welcome and valued.

The loss of Jamal has left a hole in the hearts of those who knew him. We will always remember his kindness, warmth, and generosity. We take solace in knowing that his spirit will live on in the memories of those who loved him.

Rest in peace, Jamal Reed. You will never be forgotten.
