Sid was born in Nibley, UT on February 23, 1927, to Alma Yeates and Grace Evelyn King Yeates. The youngest of six children, Sid, at the age of 17, enlisted in the U.S. Navy near the end of WWII. After just over a year of service in the military, he was discharged with honors following the conclusion of the war. After his naval service, Sid began his education at Utah State University. While in college, he was introduced to a pretty, young woman from West Point, UT ArDeane Waite. After just two dates with ArDeane, Sid left for a church service mission in the Central States Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Upon returning from his mission, Sid and ArDeane began courting and they were later married on September 14, 1951, in the Logan, UT temple of the Church. They are the parents of four children.

Sid continued his studies at USU and graduated with a degree in finance. He completed his education by receiving his certification as a public accountant. He spent most of his career as the treasurer for the City of Santa Ana, California.
