Reg was born May 2, 1941. He dedicated his life to Jesus at a young age and loved serving at his church. Reg and Bertha Jean married May 26, 1995. He was devoted to his family and loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The kids always knew where to get a treat; Reg was never without a Werther’s original or peppermint. He truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. He was an avid hunter and loved taking his nephews and grandkids out to hunt for the big one. He loved playing Domino’s with his brother and friends. He never missed an Atlanta Braves game and loved watching his grandkids play baseball. He also love watching Alabama and Southern Academy Football. Reg proudly served his country in the Army National Guard. He was called to duty several times throughout his service and always had many stories to tell. He retired from the Guard after 27 years. Reg later worked for the Hale County Highway Department and retired after 30 plus years. He would often brag about helping to build a road when driving with his family. Our family will miss his sweet presence, but we are at peace knowing that Reg is rejoicing in heaven with our Lord and Savior and is now walking the streets of gold with his son William and his many loved ones. We know that this goodbye is only for a little while and we will all see him again in our eternal home in Glory.
