Michael Pierce Reed

Michael (Mike) Pierce Reed, 79, of Snyder Texas entered peacefully into the presence of Jesus on July 3, 2023, at his home in Fredericksburg, Texas. He was born on December 14, 1943 to Harry and Mabel Reed.

A Funeral Service for Mike will be held at Bell-Cypert-Seale Funeral Home in Snyder, Texas on Saturday, July 8, at 2 pm with Mr. David Belk officiating. Interment will follow at Hillside Memorial Gardens. Services are under the direction of Bell Cypert Seale Funeral Home.

He is survived by his wife Judie and his children Angela, Mindy, Lance and Meredith. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Upon graduation from Snyder High School, Mike went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis MD. Mike graduated with honors from the Naval Academy and was selected to be one of the first members of the United States Nuclear Submarine program. After serving his country with honors, Mike went to the University of North Carolina to receive his MBA. Mike then went on to work at NCNB (now Bank of America) but soon returned to his roots in Snyder to help run Southern Electric with his brothers John and Herbert and parents Harry and Mabel in Snyder. Mike served the community of Snyder as the President of SISD school board. He and his wife Judie owned Sunnyside dress shop, and he served on several local boards and organizations. Mike then felt a calling to law. He graduated from Texas Tech Law School and entered into law practice in Lubbock where he opened his own law firm. Mike then took law to the classroom and taught business law at Texas Tech for 10 years. Mike loved sports, music, and his country. He was an amazing golfer (a member of Snyder High School and Naval Academy golf teams). He never missed a North Carolina Tarheel basketball game. “Tarheel Forever” he said and would sometimes even be a bit grumpy after a loss. Mike loved making people laugh and viewed serving others as a responsibility and a blessing. It’s been said of Mike that he accomplished more by accident than many men do on purpose. But Mike viewed his accomplishments as insignificant compared to his love for his wife Judie, his family, his friends and his faith in Jesus.
