Reid Webster was born in Albany, Oregon where he attended Liberty Elementary, Memorial Middle School and West Albany High School. He received his Bachelors in Business from Western Oregon University.
Reid's education and strong work ethic allowed him to explore different occupations but there were specific highlights in his career that were particular favorites. These included fishing and cooking for Tanaku Lodge in Alaska, The Buzzsaw Restaurant in Albany where he met his wife, opening The Pelican Pub in Pacific City, running his own catering company, Design Cuisine and teaching at Hudson's Bay High School in Vancouver where he was deeply committed to making a difference for his students.
His passion for the outdoors was no secret to anybody that met him. From his early days of duck and elk hunting, to the amazement of a good scuba dive, to his countless hours on the water waiting for the bite, he had a strong respect for and connection to nature. Fishing, clamming, crabbing all gave him great joy but there was nothing as good as teaching others to experience the 'thrill of the hunt'. Reid's absolute favorite place to be was on the water with close friends, many of whom are also his brothers.
Another favorite place of his was the kitchen. Creating unforgettable meals for others to experience came easy to him and often amazed those fortunate enough to experience it. As with anything he did, this was often enjoyed with close friends and family including, of course, his brothers.
What made all of these experiences even more special to him was sharing them with his daughters, Sydney and Xia. He was enormously proud of them and could always be heard in the stands when they were on the stage. He treasured every moment of being their Dad.
