Most recently, he served as the Accountability Director for Sapulpa Public Schools. Michael married the love of his life, Linda, July 5, 2001 in Eureka Springs, AR. They enjoyed traveling, working out, and spending time playing with their grandchildren. Michael loved God and his family first and foremost. Anyone that knew him will tell you he was also proud of each and every student taught- and particularly those he coached in his years at Muskogee and El Reno. Michael had a great passion for running, and please don’t call him a jogger. He will tell you he was a runner. He lived his life to the fullest every day. He was known as “Pop” by his grandkids and he regularly dressed up in a blanket cape and a crown to entertain them. He knew every word to “Let It Go,” and he was quite proud of that. He will be greatly missed by all those that loved him and those whose lives he touched. Michael is preceded in death by his brother, William Heath Reid.
