Ian Marcus Reynolds
Wake Forest
Ian Marcus Reynolds, 25, of Wake Forest died Friday, October 23, 2015, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was born in Wake County, the son of Tammy Klute Reynolds and Joseph Reynolds.
Ian was a special part of our family. He was the baby of the family and he carried a bit of each of us in him. He was only the baby in age because Ian was a good man who was on his way to becoming a great man. He achieved an unusual wisdom for a 25-year-old. He knew the importance of the people in his life. He kept his friends and family close to his heart, and shared in their joys and pains. He was authentic! Ian was passionate about cooking and expressed that passion as the chef at Real McCoy’s in Wake Forest. It was easy to tell he would make his food dreams come true after only spending a few minutes with him. He was a spreading flame that was extinguished too soon, but the signs of him will live on in the people he loved. Thank you for being a part of our lives. We love you and we will miss you!
Funeral services were held at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning, October 27, 2015, in the Chapel of Bright Funeral Home.
Ian is survived by his parents, Joe and Tammy Reynolds; brothers, Joshua Johnson, Randy Reynolds and Zeke Reynolds; a sister, Kristina Horton; grandmothers, Bev Klute and Patricia Anne Martin; the love of his life, Nikki Mitchell; as well as numerous nieces and nephews and many friends.
