Reginald graduated with honors from Big Spring High School and later from Texas State Technical Institute, an accomplishment he held close to his heart. His intelligence was not only academic, but also deeply human. He possessed an innate understanding of people and their needs, a trait that guided him throughout his life. Despite never being formally employed, he found his purpose in helping others, always putting their needs before his own. His residence in Austin, Texas, having moved from his birthplace Big Spring, was a home filled with warmth, laughter, and the occasional spirited debate about the latest game.
