Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Reed Baldwin of Springbrook, Alberta.

Reed was the fifth child of Don and Wilma Baldwin and was born in Calgary where he lived until he moved to the Red Deer area for work. Reed attended Sir Winston Churchill high school and after working for several years at various jobs, he enrolled at SAIT to get his journeyman’s ticket as a Parts Technician. He joined Calgary Peterbilt as a Partsman in 1996 before transferring to Red Deer to become a Truck Consultant selling Peterbilt medium and heavy-duty commercial trucks. He worked for the company for 30 years until his death on August 29th, 2026.


Reed was a fearless kid and rode motorbikes and ATV’s at a young age and that grew into a love of unique cars and trucks that he would “pimp-out” with lift kits, fancy tires and the latest technology gadgets. Reed was an intensely private person but still enjoyed camping, travelling or just hanging out in a friend’s garage having a couple of drinks and tinkering on vehicles. He enjoyed target shooting and outdoorsy trips where his buddies would take the trucks out in the mud. His job was a big part of his life. He was fiercely dedicated to his customers who often became life-long friends. Both friends and clients would pop by his desk every day to have a coffee or to go out for lunch.


Reed is survived by his dad, Don Baldwin, his brothers Donnie Baldwin (Heather), and Wade Baldwin, and sisters Tara MacDonald (Jim), and Cori MacGregor (Shaun) as well as numerous nephews and nieces. Reed was predeceased by his mom, Wilma Baldwin.


We will miss Reed’s crooked smile he shared with our dad. His bright blue eyes like our mom. His short visits and our adventures at Gull Lake. We, who remember his voice, will miss him dearly...and not just in the chapter when we lost him. He was a good son. A beloved brother. He was well-liked and respected by his friends and peers. His absence will be felt, forever.

Post Your Condolence
