Not sure what to say?

My life has been richer having known Coach Reeder. Will never forget your chest slap dance.

I spent numerous hours each day with coach Reeder for three years when he coached wrestling and track, and taught English and PE at Logan Junior High. He was by far the teacher I remember most during that impressionable time. He was also with me when I ran my first 10 k in 1979 out of Central Park there in Logan when I was 13.
I'm 50 now and just back from Alaska, where I finished a winter trek of 1,000 miles on foot. I'm now only one in 16 people to ever have completed it in less...

Sincerest condolences to Dona & family.
Coach Reeder is one of the greatest mentors in my life. Back in '91, a kid who was too naïve and oblivious regarding his own lack of ability to compete at the collegiate level, asked to join the USU cross country and track teams as a walk-on freshman. Coach Reeder not only humored me, but also somehow saw potential no other coach would have cared or bothered to develop. Life lessons he taught me over the next several years are innumerable. ...

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hard to believe he is gone. Love the memories of him at MLMS.

Sadie and Family,

I only met your dad once, but I'll never forget it. He came to your house in River Heights with the USU track team bus. All of the kids in the neighborhood thought his bus was awesome, which I'm sure he anticipated.

He invited me, and a crowd of kids, onboard giving us a ride while you and Jane enjoyed some talk time. I remember he was so friendly and easy to talk with. We had a great chat for about 30 minutes while he treated us to a deluxe extended...

Steve - the world is a better place because you were here - you are missed.

Dear Dona, Daisy, Emily, Marty, Isaac and Sadie - I am very blessed to have known Steve. He embodied what life is all about. He always smiled, laughed and told funny jokes. Steve was the best coach and motivator I ever had. I ran in the early 80's at USU -- amoung his first batch of runners. I joined the team as a walk-on and he always encouraged me to push myself and dig deep. His motivation led to my great enjoyment of running and all it offers. It is something I will always do - and I have...

So sorry for your loss Marty, Bonnie, and family. Sounds like your children lost a wonderful papa. Keep his memory alive for them. Our love and prayers-

My thoughts and prayers go to all the family of Coach Reeder. What an amazing man, he is. I feel blessed to have spent 4 fun years getting to know him at Utah State.
