Richard Alvin Reed, 71, of Duncan, passed away on November 15, 2024, in Tucson. Richard was born in Morenci, Arizona on May 2, 1953, to Alla Pearl and Robert Reed.
Richard was a true cowboy and lifelong horseman. He trained and cared for countless horses that went on to compete, ranch, and bring joy to riders near and far. Richard loved passing his knowledge of horses and roping to anyone willing to listen and work hard. Though he was known for his tough exterior, he loved and cared deeply for his friends and family. He especially enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play sports, always the loudest and proudest on the sidelines. Richard was loved and respected by many. He will be dearly missed.
Richard is survived by: his loving wife of 50 years, Jana; daughters Lisa (Howdy) Bigelow and Lindsey (Jacob) Robbins; his ten grandchildren; sister, Sharon Gray; stepmother, Doris Reed; stepsiblings, Joe (Terry), Don (Donna) Goodman, Lynda (Marion) Call; and several nieces and nephews. Richard is preceded in death by his parents, and older brother, Robert.
Graveside services for Richard were conducted Friday morning, November 22, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., at the Sheldon Cemetery.
