Christopher Reynolds

Christopher Dean Reynolds, 53, of Harrodsburg, passed away January 8, 2021 at UK Hospital in Lexington. He was born March 31, 1967 in Boyle County to Diane and Jackie Reynolds.

He was a Senior Technician at Hitachi Automotive, and worked there for over 25 years. He previously worked for Wade Motor Company of Danville. Chris was of Baptist faith and attended Mt. Pleasant Church in Harrodsburg. Chris is often described as the person who cares more about others than about himself. He touched the hearts of any who met him. Chris loved the outdoors and sports. He loved hunting and it was one of his favorite past times. Chris also enjoyed riding his side-by-side and camping. He was a die-hard University of Kentucky football and basketball fan, and if a game was on you could bet he was watching it. He also enjoyed attending games and was a long-time football season ticket holder. He was also a fan of the Pittsburg Steelers NFL team, he was always watching them Sunday afternoons, and complaining if a Cincinnati Bengals game had the tv spot. Chris also enjoyed watching NASCAR and his favorite driver was Kevin Harvick. It is impossible to find anyone who did not like Chris, and he has a large family that is built on blood and friendship. He will be dearly missed by his family for his laughs, his teases, and his outright devotion to put others before himself.

He is survived by both parents, Diane Reynolds of Danville, and Jackie Reynolds (Wilma) of Murfreesboro, TN, his life partner and girlfriend Janice Stakelin Neal, a son, Steven Reynolds of Harrodsburg, step-daughters Angela and Ashten Neal of Harrodsburg, a step-son Allen Neal (Sylvia) of Stamping Ground, two sisters, Angela Reynolds (Caleb) of Nova Scotia, Canada, and Melissa Reynolds Schlachter (Mark) of Shelbyville, a step-sister, Jennifer Spence of Tennessee, a step-brother Charles Deason of Tenneessee, and six step-grandchilden, Preslye Neal, Parker Neal, Brayden Allen, Kaysen Hopkins, Corbin Pelley and Karlee Neal.
