He was raised in Salt Lake City and Milford, Utah. He married Margaret Helen Gemmell, March 6, 1953, they were later sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. They are the proud parents of five sons Len, Michael, Steven, Brian and K.C. Reed loved the great outdoors and soon camping became one of Reed and Margaret’s favorite things to do. So Reed taught each of the boys to fish, hunt, water-ski and enjoy the outdoors, all the things he loved.

Reed and Margaret were blessed to serve in the Jordan River Temple for many years and loved the opportunity to serve together as missionaries at the LDS Employment Office, Sandy, Utah and Starpoint Girls Camp.
