Reed M. Faith

Reed M. Faith, 80, of Winslow, Indiana passed away July 17, 2024, from complications due to a broken neck.  He was born July 22, 1943, to Reed L. and Hildred Faith.

He worked at Glass Specialty as Manager, at Squaw Creek Mine as a welder and heavy equipment operator and also out of the Operating engineers Local 118.  Reed also owned the Red Fox Night Club, The Headhunter Archery and Sports shop and the Texaco gas station, all located in Chandler, Indiana. He was an expert welder who could design and build anything out of either steel or wood and flipped houses after his retirement.

Reed was an avid archer who won many local, regional and state competitions. He loved hunting, with bear being his all-time favorite and elk coming in a close second. He was a pilot and owned his own plane- a Beechcraft Musketeer with dual controls.  Reed loved horses and riding but unfortunately that was short-lived. He most enjoyed family and throwing big parties for friends and family. He cooked, fished, worked in his shop and repaired, rebuilt and painted trucks and even airplanes.  Reed once worked on Marcia Yockey’s plane. He loved to draw and sketch and was offered a job on Time magazine straight out of high school which he turned down.
