A man of deep faith, Reggie graduated from Booker T. Washington Senior High School in Houston before enlisting in the United States Navy, where he served with honor until his discharge in 1996. He continued to serve his community and his church after returning home. In 2004, Reggie married the love of his life, Dawanna Griffin, in a union built on mutual respect, shared dreams, and deep, abiding love. Their bond was a true testament to what it means to love and cherish one another through all of life’s seasons.

His commitment to his faith extended to his involvement in the Gospel Spiritualites, where he shared his love for music and worship with all who encountered him.
