Terry Reid
Our beloved husband, father and grandfather, was called home on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 following a heroic battle with pancreatic cancer and renal failure. Here's Terry's farewell and life sketch and legacy.
I was born on February 15, 1948 in Salt Lake City. I am the oldest of two boys, myself and Rick Reid, both born to Kennett J. and Gwendolyn C. Reid. I grew up in West Jordan and I played every sport. But I especially enjoyed football and bowling with my dad. I graduated from Bingham High School. I played football at Snow College. I served a mission to the New York Cumorah Mission and played King Benjamin in the Hill Cumorah Pageant.
I married Kathy Christensen and our marriage was blessed with two sons, Matt and Chris. Kathy and I were later divorced.
I was the founder of the West Jordan High Booster Club and helped to install lighting at the football stadium. I loved to support my sons at all their sporting events, especially their football and baseball careers. I didn't miss a game. For many years, I spent a big part of my life with my grandchildren. I loved to take them to parks, swimming, sleepovers and Christmas movie marathons. I moved to Ogden 2007 to be closer to my family.
I married my eternal companion, Debbie Kidman on October 11, 2012. Our marriage was solemnized in the Brigham City Temple.
When I was 62, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was blessed to be a cancer survivor for the past 14 years.
I worked for Reagan Outdoor Advertising and quickly became Vice President and General Manager. I was privileged to work with many company's advertising, including the Utah Jazz. I served on the legislative committee and small ordinance committee for OAAA – the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. I started outdoor advertising companies called Mammoth Outdoor Advertising and Northway Advertising. I had the opportunity to travel the world through my career.
I have been blessed to share my journey in life with my wife, Debbie, a son, Chris (Maria) Reid, step-children, Toni (Mike) Crabb, Mark (Tiffany) Kidman, Steven and 12 amazing grandchildren, Chris and Maria children - Gabrielle, Sophia, Sadie Mae, Mac, and Jake, and Debbie's grandchildren, Alissa, Angie, Ethan, Charlotte, Brooke, Lexington, and Hawthorne and a special nephew, Eric Reid. My oldest son Matthew died in 2021.
Graveside services will be held at 12 noon on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022 at the West Jordan City Cemetery, 7925 S. 1300 W. West Jordan, Utah.
