Reed Douglas Volk, age 74, peacefully passed away Wednesday, November 3, 2021, at St. Claire Medical Center in Morehead, Kentucky.
He was born on July 30, 1947, in Columbus, Ohio, to the late Robert Downey Volk and Doris Dawley Volk.
He is survived by his loving and beautiful wife Sandra Wood Volk; a daughter Kellie Volk Hoffman of Columbus, Ohio; three sons Eric Volk of Ft. Bliss, Texas, Todd Volk of Louisville, Kentucky, and Douglas Volk (Rebecca) of Morehead, Kentucky; 11 grandchildren, Becca, Sophia, Hannah, Samuel, Zelda, Serenity, Ezekiel, River, Colton, and Abigail and Damon who both preceded him in death.
He graduated from Ohio Northern in pharmacy and spent a 45-year career serving customers in Mt. Vernon and Coshocton, Ohio and Kentucky in Pikeville, Prestonsburg, and Morehead. He was honored with a Doctorate of Pharmacy from Appalachian College of Pharmacy for his years of training pharmacy students in Eastern Kentucky.
Always a dedicated husband and father, Reed put others needs over his own. As an incredibly hard worker, Reed stood by the principle, “I won’t ask you to do anything if I am not willing to do it myself.” His willingness to be part of numerous teams for medical mission work both home and overseas took him to some very unlikely places! He spent his retirement years enjoying his children, grandchildren and reading.
