On July 23, 2015, our beloved Pete Reid, 63, of Raton, NM, made the journey into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
Pete was born in Raton and lived here his entire life. He is survived by his wife Kathy, 2 sons, Larry Lester (Jaina) of Raton and Andrew McCoy of Wichita Falls, TX, 3 daughters, Kimberly Madrid (Michael) of Albuquerque, Kelli McCord of Raton and Sherry Lester. He is also survived by his best buddy and big brother Jim Reid (Debbie) also of Raton. He had 7 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
Pete was loved by everyone that knew him. He was a member of CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association), Family Worship Center here in Raton, NRA, and for many years was a volunteer fire fighter. He worked for Raton Public Service for 25 years and retired in April, 2006.
Pete loved his race cars, his motorcycles and his morning and afternoon stops at Oasis Restaurant to have coffee or tea with his buddies. Most of all, Pete loved all his family and friends. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
In lieu of flowers the family has asked that a donation in Pete’s name be made the our local animal shelter.
Everyone is welcome to join CMA and the Independent Riders on a Memorial ride for Pete July 30th to begin at Oasis Restaurant at 9:00 am.
Services will be held at 11:00 am at the Yaksich-Long Funeral Home at 1310 South Second St. Raton, NM
In Loving Memory of Pete Reid

Pete will be truly missed by the Independent Riders . He was always there for us through the past 12 years helping with the Run For The Wall Event. What a gentleman. We know Pete is riding in Heaven free of all illness, and I am sure he made a whoop and tossed that oxygen tank away on the way up!!!! We love you Pete, and you will not be forgotten!!!
