Shermal Monquaze

Reid

Mr. Shermal Monquaze Reid was born on August 24, 1989 to Winfred Reid and Patricia Reid in Griffin, Georgia. He was the youngest of his siblings. Mr. Reid accepted Christ as his savior at an early age. He received his education in the Griffin-Spalding County School System.

"Big Quez", as all his family and friends knew him, enjoyed life. He loved writing and listening to music. He was the life of the party, always joking and making people laugh. Whenever anyone would feel down, he would always have motivational words to uplift them. Being positive is what "Big Quez" stood for. But, whenever "Big Quez" was feeling down he would turn to his older cousins, Jason Hayes and Latwan Smith for reassurance. "Big Quez" also had a special relationship with his aunt Glenda Reid, whom played an important role in his life. Oh, for a closer walk with God, a calm and heavenly friend. A light to shine upon the road, that lead me to the lamb.

On Tuesday April 6, 2021 the Master was walking in the Garden of Life and saw that a rare flower had reached a stage of perfection. God noticed this extraordinary flower displayed the beauty of love, peace, kindness and gentleness, the qualities in which His eternal place is adorned. Our Heavenly Father entered Him into rest. Mr. Shermal Monquaze Reid entered the gates knowing there would be no more sickness, pain or suffering, only everlasting joy with his Savior, Jesus Christ. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Eddie Marshall, Ammie Marshall, Roger Reid and Josephine Reid; uncles, Charles Adams and Grant Reid; best friend, Charles Alsobrooks; and special friend, Darius Head.
