Birth date: Jul 8, 1932 Death date: Oct 8, 2020
Reed was born at home near Huston, Idaho on July 8, 1932 and died on October 8, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah. His parents were Rowland Frost and Leanore Sanderson. His father died in 1934 and after his mother married Burton Sander Read Obituary
I always remember Reed as I look through my beverage bottles with wildlife and bird themed labels, a fun collection that he started for me by giving me bottles from his collection! I just shared them with fellow birders online during an Arizona Field Ornithologists annual meeting last week and everyone loved them!
Reed had an incredible career in wildlife and conservation, and will always be remembered for that.
Goodbye Reed

A lifetime of love, holding hands
Something many, never quite understand
Look into the eyes, no words spoken
Vows forever, never were broken
Job, life, and children too
Devotion, love would get ‘em through
Earthly bliss, with nature’s harmony
Ample tools in the emotional armory
Battled cancer, buried is wife
Without her, continued life
Disharmony on earth, chaos run amok
But toughed it out, some days sucked
One day the body didn’t feel quite well
His time on earth, would no longer dwell
Back to the wife, in heaven up yonder
Those left behind, destined to ponder
Time really not our own, all God given
Invest the effort, for every day livin’
As he finds his destiny; a heavenly bliss
For those who mourn, he’s certainly missed
