ImpactTulsa

MBK Tulsa and ImpactTulsa extend our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers to the Reed family and all who were close to Coach Keith Reed. His impact reached thousands, and his legacy is one of selflessness, mentorship, and community leadership. Through boxing, basketball, strength training, conditioning, and mentoring future business leaders, Coach Reed dedicated his life to uplifting others. He was a devoted father—not only to his own family but to countless young people across Tulsa. Coach Reed was a true pillar of the community, consistently focused on helping others succeed without seeking recognition for himself. His influence changed lives and inspired a sense of purpose and resilience in so many. His life is a testament to what great character looks like—leading with humility, generosity, and unwavering support for children and youth. You will be missed, Coach, but your legacy of character and service will continue to live on in the lives you touched.
