I was hoping they mad a mistake, then on the radio they dedicated the day to you. I cried so much...I can picture your smile, you dropping off Andrew at school, waiting patiently in the truck for your other son to get off to school. who could do such a cruel act to a good father, good friend, good community member???????

He had turned his life around and was spending more time
with his kids. He was thinking of taking classes in computers or maybe starting his own hip hop group.
He had made a demo cd and a lot of people really liked it.
He was not affiliated with any gangs or any of that nonsense
and was thinking about getting his GED.
I cried also.

He will be missed.

Regg... What can I say friend? When I heard the news it sent me into a tail spin. The sadness is heavy, remembering your smile, your laugh or the way you hugged your mother helps ~ but it won't bring you back. I know you've accepted your fate, you were always good in seeing the purpose or the good in a situation. I know you are looking down ~ wishing you could take the pain from your kids, from your mother and from your friends. We won't ever forget you dear friend, you will always be with us... for the pain we are feeling right now is your place in our hearts cementing itself there ~ I love you, miss you and will try to live a better tomorrow knowing it isn't promised. God bless you Regg... and your family.

I'd like to extend my condolences to the family. I was so shocked to hear the news. Reggie was a loving father. I remember when he would pick his son up Andrew from the bus stop and would be a little late!! He'd come rushing down the street saying I'm sorry! I'd say don't worry about it. Life is too short. We must hug and tell someone special that we love them each and everyday.

When I got the phone call I was in shock. I'm like Reggie who? I could not believe what I was hearing. Tears immediately filled up my eyes. Reg was a good man and a good father. I can remember him picking Andrew up from the Y and if you know Reggie then you know he was always late. He was always making fun of me calling me grandma because of my hair nets. I look back on those times and I smile. Reggie was a good man and did not deserve his fate. But he's in a better place. My heart goes out to his mom and dad and of course his sons Adrew and Little Reggie. Gone but never forgotten.

When I recieved the phone call Saturday afternoon I was shocked. I couldn't and didn't want to believe what I was hearing. All I could say was, "No not Reggie". Reggie was a good man and a good father. He always made me laugh when ever I saw him. I can remember him coming to pick Andrew up from the Y...and if you know Reggie he was always late. Or making fun of my "grandma" hair nets as he put it. Looking back on these things makes me smile. Reggie did not deserve his fate but he's in a better place. My heart goes out to Andrew and Little Reggie and the rest of the family. Yes, Reggie's gone but he will never be forgotten.

Reggie was a very involved dad, so much so that he was well known to the parents, students, & staff of the Nathan Hale Elementary School. We mourn as well with the rest of Boston...

I dont know where to begin because I am so sad right now that I am fighting back tears like every second of the day thinking about my Big Wheel Brother. We did it all together and even though we grew apart as we got older our genuine love as brothers homeboys for life would always draw us back to each other to at least kick it and let the other know we still are Brothers for life and now my life is missing a brother I loved and respected and friendship that I would/will always cherish. He was such a great dude and good father and these streets stole one of my oldest friends in the world. I just want my Homies family to know that he was so so loved and will be so missed by us all whether you met him last week or knew him your whole life we all feel this pain so heavily. God Bless the Angel!!!

I want to send my prayers and condolensences to Reggie and his family and friends. I don't even know him except from the stories I hear, but have felt the affect of his passing. I know that he was someone very dear to a dear friend of mine and it pains me to see how the loss of Reggie is so immense to his family, kids and friends. I'm sorry for such a tragic loss of who seems to have been such a wonderful person to so many people.

Take a risk and show LOVE

When we speak of the word love we instantly think of Reggie. Everyone that loved him called him Reg, Reg Jr. or just Jr.

Everyone who knew him loved him very much. He was a loving devoted father, son, brother, uncle and committed friend. He was a bright man with a bright future and dedicated to his children and family. Reggie was a barber at World of Curl in Dorchester, MA. He was an active parent participating in events like No Books No Ball at the Roxbury YMCA, Boston Bengals Football team, Madison Park Red Sox Rookie League, AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) and many others activities.

Reggie was kind and everyone’s first instinct was to love him. He was always giving and respectful; striving for peace and love for his children and family. Reggie gave his unconditional love and friendship to everyone in his life. He had a way of making everyone whose life he touched feel comfortable in any situation. The best words to describe Reggie are love, devotion, and kindness. He was our father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.

The Family would like to thank everyone for all of their love and words of encouragement during this time. Our prayer is for healing, rebuilding and rescoring hearts.

The services will take place Saturday July 26, 2008 from 10-12 at Concord Baptist Church, Corner of 190 Warren Avenue & West Brookline Street in Boston.

Repass will take place at the Roxbury YMCA on Warren Street in Roxbury.

It is still so hard for me to believe this has happened. Alot of years have passed since the summer vacations that you spent in Alabama, the hide and go seek games, bike rides and basically just old fashioned fun. Over the years you became a great dad and altough we lived in different states, it appears that you grew into a wonderful man who was loved by many. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your sons, your mom, and brother. May your soul forever Rest In Peace.

Your cousin,
Mena

We cannot stop crying for your family and sons. We are hurting because we know they are hurting. You was such a good dude. We just keep seeing your smile. Especially when it comes to any activities with your sons, you had that PROUD DAD SMILE...We know that you are resting now. Whoever did this to you Jehovah God knows & he will see to it that JUSTICE is done.
We love you Reg and we will miss everything about you.

To get this terrible news on Sunday morning was the worst I've heard in a very long time. When I saw you last, a couple of Christmas' ago you greeted me as if we had just seen each other the day before. I can remember how much fun you brought to our family reunions. I even remember you as a little tot when your grandma lived on the other side of my parents. I'm so very sad and wish time could roll back to Friday and you took a different route. I offer my heartfelt sympathy to your family. May God give you the strength you need to go on and peace.

Your cousin,

Wat happened to Reggie is unbelievable and unfortunate. Reggie was a devoted father and loved his children dearly. He would come to the Shelburne and drop will drop lil Reggie lunch almost everyday. He would always have a huge smile on his face. He would be truely missed and kept in my prayers. I send my condolences out to the family and Lil' Reggie.

Andrew Im so sorry for your lost . When james called me I just cried Love ya

Reggie,
its still hard 2 believe that ur gone and i will never see u in the physical again. However, knowing that i still have ur parents and kids to cherish, i am content. i feel ur spirit surrounding me and letting me know its ok to mourn you but get it 2getha:)

i've loved u since 7th grade and nothing has or will ever change. thank you for being apart of my life as well as jarris' and tynasia's.

Letear...ur 1st love

REGGIE,

I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS FEELING THAT HAS MY HEART HURTING OR THE HOLE THAT FORMED THERE WHEN YOU WERE CALLED HOME. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT YOU WERE NOT JUST MY FRIEND BUT A DEAR FRIEND INDEED. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME SINCE 7TH GRADE AND THE TIME OF YOUR HIGH-TOP FADE

MY PAIN WAS YOUR PAIN OR VICE VERSA. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH MANY THINGS BOTH GOOD AND BAD IN OUR LIFETIME BUT YOU ALWAYS TRIED TO STAY POSITIVE AND THAT HAS ALWAYS AMAZED ME ABOUT YOU CAUSE I WAS ALWAYS READY TO BE "BOUT IT BOUT IT".

NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT I WOULD BE STANDING HERE SPEAKING AT YOUR HOMEGOING SO EARLY IN OUR LIVES. WE WERE SUPPOSE TO GROW OLD TOGETHER AS FRIENDS, YOU AND I. REMEMBER I'M THE ONE WHO WAS GOING TO HELP YOU IN AND OUT OF YOUR DEPENDS BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS FOR YOU AND I CANNOT QUESTION HIM.

ALL I CAN DO NOW IS CHERISH THE MEMORIES WE SHARED, THE INSIDE JOKES THAT ONLY YOU AND I KNEW ABOUT, YOUR PARENTS AND MOST OF ALL YOUR SONS: LIL REGGIE AND ANDREW.

AS I'VE ALWAYS STATED TO YOU "YOUR SONS ARE MY SONS AND MY KIDS WERE YOURS" WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THIS YOU KNEW WAS TRUE TOO BECAUSE OF THE BOND, UNDERSTANDING, FRIENDSHIP AND HISTORY THAT WE HAD.

I WAS FOREVER TELLING YOU THAT I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND REGGIE, I MEANT JUST THAT AND NOTHING HAS OR WILL EVER CHANGE. YOU'RE NOT WITH ME IN THE PHYSICAL BUT YOUR SPIRIT IS SURROUNDING ME AND WITH THAT I AM CONTENT.

I KNOW YOU HAVE FOUND THE PEACE THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS SOUGHT AFTER.

REGGIE EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO MEET YOUR DAUGHTER, MY PROMISE TO YOU IS TO LOVE HER UNCONDITONALLY JUST AS I LOVE YOU AND THE BOYS ... UNTIL MY LAST BREATH!!

UNTIL I SEE YOU AT THE CROSSROADS, I'LL BE MISSING YOU DEARLY,
LETEAR CHARLEY
