REEDER, Clyde F.

Clyde F. Reeder passed away on May 27, 2007 in Mesa, AZ. At his side was his loving wife Joan, step-daughters, Anastasia Ogle and Kim Kozup, and the rest of his family. He was a kind and loving man and husband who always had a nice thing to say with a smile. He lived a full life leaving behind a legacy of a loving daughter Sue Chapman and many loved ones who will miss him. He served in the army with his group as the lead amphibian tank to secure the beaches of the pacific islands for General Douglas MacArthur during World War II. During his honorable service he received the Purple Heart and the Good Conduct medals. His whole life he always tried to bring joy to others as he was always willing to serve the needs of others before his own. He will be deeply missed as no one could ever take his place as a wonderful and loving man who had the light of Christ shine through his beautiful blue eyes. Service for Mr. Reeder will be private.
