1946 - 2017
Ronald Lee Reid, of Huntington, died July 29, 2017. He was born April 15, 1946, in Helen, W.Va., to Roy C. and Helen R. Reid. He grew up in Crab Orchard, W.Va., and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1964. He worked for Unisource Worldwide, Inc., and retired as operations manager. He married the love of his life, Linda Underwood, in Beckley on July 14, 1967. His mischievous sense of humor never quite camouflaged the generous and caring heart that drew a large circle of dedicated, longtime friends. He reveled in the outdoors, from mountains and woods to the beach, and especially enjoyed hunting and fishing. A loyal Marshall fan, he could be found most autumn Saturdays at the center of a group of laughing tailgaters at Joan C. Edwards stadium. He was absolutely devoted to his family, who have lost a guide, a steady source of advice, and a defender. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Linda; a sister and brother-in-law, Donna and Richard Oderwald; a nephew, Benjamin Oderwald, and his wife, Christine Gibson; a niece, Elizabeth Oderwald Roettger, and her husband, David Roettger; great-nieces Eleanor and Celia Oderwald and Hazel Roettger; and a great-nephew, Desmond Oderwald. The family would like to thank Dr. Gerrit Kimmey and the oncology staff at HIMG. A visitation will be held Saturday, August 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Wallace Funeral Home in Barboursville. Pastor Kerry Bart will conduct funeral services at 3 p.m. Sunday, August 13, at the First United Methodist Church in Barboursville. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice of Huntington, P.O. Box 464, Huntington, WV 25709. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace.
