Tom Ed Reynolds was born in Lubbock on Oct. 31, 1941, to Ed and Naomi Reynolds of Acuff. Given his birth on Halloween, he was affectionately called "pumpkin" by his mom. Tom Ed attended Roosevelt High School where he played basketball and was named Most Athletic and Most Popular. His interest in sports continued with his life-long devotion to the Dallas Cowboys.

Following graduation from Roosevelt, Tom Ed attended Texas Tech University before joining his father to farm cotton in the Acuff community. He married Charlotte Pollock of Lorenzo on June 2, 1961, and together they raised their two sons, Eddie and Blake, in Acuff. Tom Ed farmed for several decades and served on the board of McClung Coop Gin in Midway. He moved to Lubbock in 1985 and was married to Marilyn Carol Watts from 1993 to 2011. Tom Ed was a long-time member of Trinity Church.
