Reggie was a family man, stand up guy, always was a kind hearted, all around nice friend. They don’t make them like him everyday. There are so many things to say about Reggie, he’s a father, brother, son, uncle, role model, and a loving husband. Reggie was a selfless person who took pride in helping his family. There’s nothing I can say that has been or would’ve been said about him. We will miss Reggie every day, he has been there for everyone as long as we can remember and nothing will be the same without him. We will not just be heartbroken about this single moment, we will be heartbroken every time we realize he’s not here anymore.

My dearest love, you have always been my best friend, my man, my love. I will forever cherish our beautiful memories together, with our babies and our families. You were the most sweetest person I’ve ever known, your smile was always nice to see, your laughter was always good to hear, and your crazy sense of humor was the best. I will always be thinking about you my love, I know you’re not suffering anymore and I am grateful for that but I will miss you dearly honey love. Rest In Peace. Your Wife Elauria.
