Reid Bateman Obituary

I am a former colleague of Reid´s from his time at the DAL. I live in NOLA & heard of his passing only yesterday at a reunion lunch with other former co-workers. I remember Reid as a kind & generous young man & valued co-worker. I know he will be missed. My sincere condolences to the family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Bateman family. I´ve known Reid since we were kids in middle school at Episcopal. This is not only a loss for his family and friends but the entire city of Baton Rouge. I don´t know anyone that has ever said a negative thing about Reid. He was a class act, a true professional, and I´m just sad that we lost touch as I moved away. Godspeed my friend, I know you´ll be winning races in Heaven!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so saddened to hear this. I have very fond memories of Reid from high school. He was always such a fun loving energy and all around nice person. Condolences to his family.

My memories of Reid are most fond. He was so very smart, really funny and deeply kind. I am so shocked by his sudden and young passing. Ashley, Rebecca and family- I pray for comfort and peace for each of you in this most difficult time.

To Reid, his family and his friends,
My sympathies to all as Reid was a great collaborator and competitor in grade school. He was a thrill to watch carry the football, cruise to the finish line on the 100 & 200 yard dash, and above all, have as our anchor on high school track relays ... and growing up in school. Wish I had been able to stay in closer contact over the years as I learn how Reid in his passing continued to be The Anchor to all who were blessed to know him.

I pray for your comfort & solace in this sorrowful time.
With my most heartfelt sympathy,

Reid was a classmate of mine at Episcopal High. He was a guy that got along with everyone he met. He had a tremendous sense of humor and shared it freely and happily. I can honestly say he was a favorite of us all at EHS. I used to be amazed with his athleticism and his drive to be the best at everything he did. I will miss running in to you when visiting Baton Rouge, especially how we laughed about fun adventures. Rest in Peace my friend.

I can´t believe this awful news. Reid and I graduated Episcopal together. Like practically everyone else in Baton Rouge, his dad did my braces! Everything written in his obituary is true and then some. Reid had a gift for humor and for friendship, and for serving others. And I loved watching the man run; you wouldn´t think somebody that pigeon-toed could be so fast! My heartfelt condolences to Reid´s family and friends. Everyone who knew him will miss him dearly.

All honor to his name.

So sorry to learn of Reid's passing. We attended Episcopal together and every time we saw each other we would laugh about one of many incredible football runs. One in particular was he ran to the left on a sweep, encountered tacklers , changed course to the right, same thing, went left again (this went on and on) and finally wore the other team out and made a 50 yard TD. Time wise seemed like 10 minutes. I think of watching it frequently. It was amazing and entertaining. God bless.

My heart goes out to all of the Bateman family. I know this is a great loss. To lose a bright light such as Reid at such a young age is painful. Sending prayers for your peace and understanding of God´s plan. Always, Elissa and Rob Turnham
