Buster Gayle Reid was born on May 2, 1927 in Bedias to Buster and Imogene Ruth (Wooderson) Reid and was preceded in death by his parents.

Buster was was a man of integrity and character.  He loved the Lord and his family.  He was a devoted husband and father.  His love for his immediate and extended family was all inclusive.  His life was built on the provision of his loved ones.  He served in the Marines for his country and he lived out his life working hard for his family as a dairy farmer and rancher.  He could grow the best hay in the county because he was willing to go the extra mile to do whatever it took.  Laziness wasn't part of his vocabulary.  You just do what needs to be done and never look back.  Keep your head on the goal.  Buster left a legacy of faith for his children and his children's children.  A Father's blessing that will pass to a thousand generations because he loved the Lord, loved his family and was willing to lay down his life for what he believed in.

Survivors include his wife of sixty-one years, Maedell (Rucker) Reid, son, Jeff Reid and wife Carol; daughter Sallie Reid Carter and husband Johnny; son, Brad Reid and wife Annie; grandchildren, Traci Davis, Bobby Bell, Candice Rush and fiancé Morgan Tyler, Ben Rush and wife Katie, John Reid Carter, Madison Reid, and Marshal Reid; great-grandchildren, Korbin and Delton Rodriguez; brothers, Brooks Reid and Darrell Reid; sisters, Elizabeth “Libba” Maness and Brunelda Lopez; and many other family members and friends.

Proverbs 17:6 'Grandchildren are the crowing glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children'.  We are blessed and highly favored to have had a father and husband like Buster Reid.

I am so sadden by the loss of Mr. Reid and am troubled that we didn't hear about his loss until today. Mr. Reid was a very honorable man and one who will be missed by many. We want you to know that we looked up to Mr. Reid and respected him.
