Reed Condie Obituary

Reed and Mardi have blessed our ward and neighborhood for the last 2.5 years. We have been blessed with kindness, support, friendship and love. We are grateful for their genuine love, friendship, and example of patience in long-suffering. Our lives are better for Reed's love and friendship. Reed served on the Troop Committee and helped to encourage each boy to live the Scout Oath and Law. He served with love and diligent example.

Every so often you meet someone in your life that makes a difference. Someone who you respect and try to live your life like. I thank Reed Condie for being the man that he was and is. I will miss you, you gave me great counsel as my Bishop and as the greatest Boss a person could have. I have become a better person for having associated with you.

Bishop Condie is the first Bishop I really remember in the Florence Ward. I can still remember sitting in his office for my baptism interview. The love he showed to all even a young youth like me meant so much to me. He was a kind and loving man who will be missed by many.



My thoughts and prayers go to his family at this time.



Love,

Becky Bristow Moritz

Reed Condie was the Bishop to our Family while we were in the Florence, Ward. He felt as much a friend as he did a Bishop. We always honored his advice and his friendship. Reed treated everyone as equals and had the rare quality of making everyone he met feel comfortable. We will miss him very much. The world will not be the same without our friend in it.

I would like to express my gratitude for Reed. With Bill and others, I was one of those rambunctious youth back in the 70s. I had recently become active in our LDS ward, and went on my first campout to the Middle Sister with Reed, son Dave, and Bill Harris. He was very patient, taught me the gospel, and made everything fun. I owe my current life to a select group of men and women in the Eugene Oregon stake in the late 70s, for they were Christlike and accepting of me. Reed and Mardy were included in this group.

I would like to express my gratitude to Reed for the great influence he was to me as young man. I spent many a day in the Condie home as a youth. Reed was my Teachers quorum advisor and scout leader in the 70's. He was always willing to satisfy our adventurous desires by making the time to take us on big adventures we had planned. The brown station wagon took a group of rambunctous boys to hike in the Olympic Mtns, dive into the ice cold Moose Lake, climb, and nearly die, on the Middle Sister, swim across the Snoqualimie River, and many trips to the coast. Through it all Reed was very patient, yet watchfull of all we did. I appreciate the many times, in the past 8-10 years, that I have been able to see Reed and Mardy and see his positiveness through his struggles. Any time I was able to help lift him into the house or into the car was a pleasure for me to repay his service to me many years ago. I want Deb, Dave, Jennifer, Rob, Dan, John, and especially Mardy to know how much I loved and appreciated Reed. I will miss him.

I was a friend of Reed in our growing up years in Preston. We were team mates on the Preston High Football, Basketball and Track Teams. We played our first basketball game against each other in the fifth grade when he was a player on the Whitney Elementary team.

I expressed to him not long ago how sad I was about his condition. I just learned of his passing from a mutural friend, Neil Nelson. Please accept my deepest sympathy to all of his family. He was a good friend. Dale Chatterton
