He was born on September 13, 1945, in Jefferson City, Missouri, the son of Cletus and Martha “Mattie” (Vaughn) Haid.

He was raised in Cedar City and graduated in 1963 from Jefferson City High School where he played the clarinet in the marching band. The highlight of his high school career was marching in the inauguration parade in Washington D.C. on January 20, 1961, for President John F. Kennedy.
