CDF Remembers Jack Reed Sr.

CDF STATEMENT ON PASSING OF JACK REED, SR.

“Jack Reed Sr. spent his life serving a cause that was greater than himself. As a founding member of our own CDF, Jack sought to make Tupelo a better place to live and work for not some but all of its citizens. His vision and commitment to improving public education, economic development, and civic involvement helped transform Lee County from what was once the poorest county in the poorest state to a model community anywhere, by any standard. His hand prints can be found all over our community and will be looked upon for generations as what it means to truly live as a servant leader.
