"He was a great outgoing personality," Ed Waters, the Crenshaw High boys' basketball coach told the Times. Reese's father, Quincy Reese Sr., said in an interview with the paper that "my world changed" when his son was born and that he was going to be an "outstanding athlete." He described his son as a gentleman who loved his basketball teammates and was not one to back down from a challenge.
He said his son had been with him all day Saturday before being dropped off at a party where his teammates would be. Reese Sr. said he was waiting to pick him up from the event. "He was an outstanding kid," Reese Jr.'s godfather Don Johnson told FOX 11. "Honor roll student, listened to his parents, godparents. Always got good grades.
