<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The loss of George William Duncan Reidy, aged 24 years old,
is no small one. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a loved one, but Duncan bore
a special place in the hearts of all who knew him. The struggle of mental
illness is not one to be glossed over, and Duncan battled his fair share of
demons, but we will not remember him for that—we will remember Duncan for his
contagious smile, his quick wit, and his sense of humor. How he was kind,
accompanying others on mission trips for Hurricane Katrina relief in 2006 at
the age of 15 and in Detroit. He was a lover of film and music and enjoyed
writing and learning—always learning. He will be carried forever in the hearts
of the people he touched and in the places we knew him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Duncan was born in Fort Wayne on July 14, 1991 to Thomas and
Karen (Brown) Reidy. He attended Fort Wayne Northrup High School and was
employed as a chef at J. K. O’Donnels, Fort Wayne.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Surviving are: his father, Thomas Reidy,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>his mother, Karen Brown, a brother, David
Reidy, a sister Katherine Reidy; grandparents, Karleen Reidy, Hartford City and
William and Retta Brown, Indianapolis; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews
and cousins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He was preceded in death by his grandfather, George Reidy.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
