It is with heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Raymond “Keith” Reid, 52, on Monday, July 27, 2026. Keith passed away at home with his loving partner of 31 years, Jill Cassie, by his side.
Born in Scarborough, Ontario, Keith was the son of the late Manon Hodgins. For more than 30 years, his stepfather, Robin Kydd, was a devoted father figure and a constant source of love and support throughout his life.
Keith will be deeply missed by his loving partner, Jill; his devoted stepfather, Robin; his cherished goddaughter, Meeda; his brothers-in-law: Vance (Lesia) and Adrian (Amanda); his nieces and nephews: Cameron, Drew, Finch, Alyssa, Sofia, and Stefanie, who held a very special place in his heart; along with members of his extended family and many dear friends.
Keith will be remembered for his kind and generous heart, his willingness to help anyone in need, and his infectious laugh. His kindness, generosity, and laughter will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Keith is now reunited with those who predeceased him, including his mother, Manon; his sister-in-law, Sandra; and his parents-in-law: Marion and Doug.
A celebration of Keith’s life will be held at a later date.

So sorry for your loss Jill…Keith was so loved by so many including me…take care Jill..rest easy my friend xo
I met Keith in high school, such a great guy then. Years later ran into him while he was working at Walmart, and it was like I saw him yesterday. He was a happy guy and always kind to others. He will be missed. Sorry for your loss Jill and family.
Am so sorry for your loss, Jill.
Erich and I knew Keith through his Uncle Roger as teenagers/young adults and, thereby, Manon, and his many aunts and uncles along with his maternal grandparents. Have very fond memories of young Keith including taking him to the drive in to see Alien and several Christmases and other family get-togethers
He just requested my friendship on facebook days before he died and I was delighted he remembered me. I was looking forward to reconnecting and seeing what he was up to. He was a very easy going, happy individual when I knew him and trust he stayed true to that. Take comfort in knowing he was loved even by those from afar and ago.
We were fortunate to meet Keith only a handful of times. We were impressed with his calmness and his sweet personality. Our deepest condolences to everyone who loved him.
Keith was always kind and fun to talk to. It’s sad that he’s gone and I among so many others will miss him. I am grateful to have met him, and will miss him dearly.
Keith was a great neighbour and friend. Always warm and generous. We will miss him.
Jill, I am so saddened by the loss of Keith. He was so kind, positive and always up to chat. My heart goes out to you and his family & friends❤️
Keith,
You were so many things to so many. Your light, kindness, genuine support and humor will be remembered and missed always. Rest well my friend.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Keith, you were a one of a kind individual. You always had a happy and positive outlook on everything. You treated everyone you met with kindness and compassion and I am a far better person for having known you. Rest easy my friend.
Jill, my deepest sympathies and condolences to you and the rest of your family during this difficult time.
Every single comic book I ever read came from Keith!
I can remember laying on my stomach in his bedroom in the little A-frame house on station Road with my brother reading Keiths comic books
Keith and I were just reminiscing about it. He was definitely a good soul.
He will be missed.
Keith was a wonderful friend to my son, Eric, in grades 7 and 8 and through their high school years; also when they reconnected over 10 years ago. You will certainly miss him, Jill.
I’m so sorry to hear this… Keith was lovely to my mom, Pauline and I enjoyed meeting him at Casino Rama. My sincerest condolences to Keith’s family, Jill and friends.
Jill & family I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss his weekly visits to see me. He was an amazing gentleman, kind and soft spoken. He will be missed.
