Honoring Reikin Reynolds: A Legacy of Music and Kindness

The passing of Reikin Reynolds this summer has left a profound impact on his family and community.

By establishing a music scholarship in his name, they aim to provide deserving students with the same transformative experience that music brought to Reikin's life.

Keeping Reikin's Spirit Alive Through Music

Celebrating Reikin's Life and Legacy

Reikin Reynolds would have turned 20 years old on October 20th, but tragically, his life was cut short this past July. In the face of this heartbreaking loss, his family has chosen to commemorate his birthday in a way that reflects his deep love for music. They will be donating four months' worth of one-on-one instrumental music lessons to a deserving student at Beat City Music in Olean, New York. This gesture not only honors Reikin's remarkable legacy of kindness but also his immense passion for music, which was a profound source of expression and joy in his life.

Establishing a Music Scholarship in Reikin's Memory

The family is currently in the planning stages of developing a music scholarship in Reikin's memory. Music was his true passion, both as an aspiring guitarist and vocalist. As the family eloquently states, "Where words fail, music speaks," and this was especially true for Reikin. Music became the outlet through which he could best express himself, creating the soundtrack of his life and serving as the keeper of his memories and experiences. Music infused an illuminating and creative light into Reikin's soul, and the family hopes to provide that same artistic spark for other young musicians in the area.

Expanding the Reach of the Music Lessons

The family is now reaching out to the community, seeking support to expand the music lessons from four months to five, six, or even more. With the help of donations, they aim to gift lessons to more than one student, ensuring that Reikin's legacy continues to inspire and empower young musicians. By contributing to this cause, the community can join the family in wishing Reikin a very happy birthday and honoring his memory in a way that was so deeply meaningful to him.

How to Contribute and Celebrate Reikin's Birthday

Those who wish to support this initiative can do so by making a donation directly to Beat City Music. When making a donation, be sure to write "HBD REIKIN" (Happy Birthday Reikin) in the comment section. This gesture will not only contribute to the music scholarship but also serve as a heartfelt birthday wish for Reikin. Donations can be made in person at the Beat City Music store or by mailing a check payable to Beat City Music with "HBD REIKIN" in the memo line.Through this music scholarship, Reikin's family hopes to ensure that his passion for music and his remarkable legacy of kindness continue to inspire and uplift others. By coming together as a community to support this initiative, we can all play a part in keeping Reikin's spirit alive and providing the same transformative power of music to deserving young musicians.
