Reginald Shinault

Reginald Lee Shinault CHESAPEAKE - Reginald Lee "Reggie" Shinault, 40, passed away at his home Aug. 9, 2008. He was born in Virginia to the late Reggie and Beth Shinault and is survived by his wife of 18 years, Jennifer; three children, Shelby, Katie and Matthew; his best bud, brother and best friend, Donald Shinault and wife Colleen and their children, Donald, Candys, Karl and Robert; sister, Jennifer Hewitt and husband Donald and their children, Brittany and Hunter; three aunts; three uncles; father and mother-in-law, Chester and Doris Forehand; and a host of extended family and friends. Reggie was a graduate of Deep Creek High School, Class of 1986, and after a short term in the U.S. Marine Corps, he returned to Deep Creek to raise and provide for his family. Reggie was a hard-working, honest man who thoroughly loved the work he did as a master HVAC and project manager. He took great pride and joy in the work that he had done for Chesapeake Controls, Epsilon, Refcon and D.T. Reed Steel. Reggie was a giver, a giver of his time, his sweat and his friendship. He only knew how to give wholeheartedly whether it was to his children, his family, his friends or the kids who he coached. To him, everyone was just part of his extended family. He will be remembered for his infectious smile and witty banter. His gift to our family and hopefully to our friends and family will be the remembrance of all those moments, too plentiful to list. A memorial service to honor his friendship will be held at Altmeyer Funeral Home, 5792 Greenwich Road, Virginia Beach, Thursday at 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to a memorial fund for Reggie's three children, care of the Northern Star Credit Union, 5100 George Washington Hwy., Portsmouth, VA 23702, Acct. No. 16889suffix3. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.altmeyer.com.
