MICHAEL ‘Scooter’ Reid, former high/long/ triple jumper turned basketball slam dunk champion and popular community activist, passed away on Boxing Day after spending the past eight weeks in the Princess Margaret Hospital battling cancer.
The 57-year-old father of four and grandfather of seven was a fun-loving and hard working employee of the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, who organised a number of tournaments, including the annual Father Marcian Peters for primary and high school teams.
His older brother Apostle Carlos Reid said he will always remember Reid, who was one of the first Bahamians to clear seven-feet in the high jump in track and field and to emerge as the slam dunk champion in basketball.
