Terrence Patrick Reed, age 53, transitioned to his resting place on June 20, 2020 in his beloved hometown of New Orleans, LA. Born and raised in New Orleans in the Seventh and Eighth Wards, Terrence attended both John MacDonogh High School and L.E. Rabouin Memorial School. After the birth of his first and only child "Little" Terrence McKinney, Terrence left trade school and began his long-standing career in the Hospitality industry. His first job in Reunion Hall at the 1984 World's Fair launched a life-long path where Terrence ascended from a busboy to a lead waiter at the renowned Court of Two Sisters restaurant in the French Quarter. It was there that he garnered many close friends who lovingly deemed him "Superman." Remembered by his friends and family as a talented visual artist and drummer, Terrence was a true aesthete with an undying passion for New Orleans.

Terrence is survived by his mother Joyce Reed Mayfield, his father Woodrow Reed Sr., as well as his son Terrence McKinney, grandchild Kennedy Taliyah Nelson, his uncle Willie "Bubba" Alsanders, aunts Clara Alsanders Hodges and Frida Hughley, and his brothers Woodrow Reed Jr., Roemalis Reed, Che Reed, and Irvin Mayfield. Terrence was predeceased by his step-father Irvin Mayfield Sr. and his uncles Robert and John Alsanders.

Terrence's love for life and good times will be honored on Thursday July 9, 2020 at Charbonnet Funeral Home in the Historic Treme location (1615 St. Philip St.), with a Public Viewing from 9-10am and the Private Ceremony from 10-11am. In lieu of flowers, the family is welcoming donations to support Terrence's 16-year old granddaughter's education.
