Last week NAAA reported on the passing of Josh Reid of Springfield, Colorado, who was injured in an ag aviation accident July 10 and succumbed to burn injuries received in the accident July 14. More details are now available about Josh’s life and how you can make a memorial contribution.
Josh was the operator and pilot for Reid Aviation & Aerial Spraying. He was a Colorado native who grew up on a farm and ranch near Akron with four brothers with whom he had an incredibly tight bond. He decided against college and instead started his career as a businessman. Josh worked in trucking and construction before starting his ag aviation business with his wife Melissa. He also had trucking and fertilizer spreading businesses and sold seed.
He leaves behind Melissa, four young children, both of his parents, four brothers and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Josh Reid Memorial Fund at TBK Bank or People’s Credit Union.
