Mr. Reid was born April 3, 1935, to the late Harold and Mamie Reid in Ackerman, MS. He graduated with an agricultural degree from Mississippi State University and served in the U.S. Army National Guard. Upon graduation, he worked for the Mississippi Forestry Commission and for the remainder of his career he served 36 years as Lowndes County Supervisor for Farmers Home Administration in the Department of Agriculture in Columbus, MS. He also served as Chairman of the Board for Wesley United Methodist Church where he was a member for many years. In retirement he was an active member of Enon Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Ackerman, MS.

While living in Columbus, his favorite pastime was entertaining and cooking for large groups of people. He was even a founding member of the Columbus Chitterling Club and was most proud of an article published by Birney Imes, Jr. praising his culinary and entertaining skills. Mr. Reid's retirement years were spent in his hometown of Ackerman maintaining his farmland and cattle which were his pride and joy. He continued his passion for entertaining by feeding friends and family that gathered at his "shop" for good food and fellowship.

Kirk Reid(Mitcie) of Madison, MS. and daughter Lynne Reid Sneed(Rory) of Columbus, MS; grandchildren—Jennifer Rawson(Chad), Cooper Reid, Logan Sneed, Courtney Reid, and Luke Sneed; great-grandchildren Patrick Rawson and Jameson Rawson.
