Reed Parizek, 24,
Minot, ND, passed away
Saturday, September 26,
2020, in Minot.
Reed Richard Parizek
made a grand entrance
May 28, 1996, into this
world weighing 11 lbs. 2
oz. and 22″ long. Tears
came down from heaven
the day he left us.
He attended Bell
School, Jim Hill, Central
Campus, and graduated
from Magic City Campus
in 2014. During his school
days, he played the saxo-
phone and was in the
marching band, played
baseball, basketball,
soccer, and football.
He was employed by
North Plains Construction
as the go to guy and a
very hard, dependable
worker. He was so proud
to be alongside of his dad,
building his sister’s house
as well as his brothers’
landscaping projects and
addition.
Reed traveled so many
places with his family,
touring all fifty states with
trips to Mexico and Cana-
da as well. He loved
spending time at the lake
with his family and
friends. He enjoyed hunt-
ing and fishing with his
dad and brother.
Reed was so proud of
his family and his bright
red hair. When he was
younger, he insisted his
hair was orange. He was
such a joy to our family,
being a kind, beautiful,
gentle, sweet soul, and oh
so loving. With an infec-
tious smile, his laugh was
always contagious. Giving
the best hugs, he had a
genuine heart of gold.
Reed was always on point
with the jokes and full of
life. During his short time
with us, he touched so
many lives and was an
amazing uncle.
Reed will be in our
hearts forever and tears
will be shed every day for
the rest of our lives – he
will never be forgotten.

cludes: mother and father,
Shirley and Randy Par-
izek, Minot; brother, Chris

nephews, Lincoln Fast,
Magnus and Bjorn Brekke,
