He moved to Tampa, FL where he began his football journey and learned to play the game well. He thenmoved back to Gainesville, FL, and continued to excel to a higher level of football. He was known for his achievements in the game. Reggie was a graduate of SIATech. During this journey through life, he managed to overcome many hurdles and obstacles that stood in his way. Reggie loved all his family and lived life to the fullest.He was strong but loving. He would make you laugh even when you were mad at the world or even him. He was a big teddy bear that would help anyone in need. As soon as he entered the room, his light would shine and brighten everything and everyone up. Reggie’s smile made the sun look weak. He will be missed by his family, friends and all that knew him for the positive energy he brought to every path he crossed.
