Reginald Glover

1953 - 2021

Reginald Glover was born in Selma, Alabama on July 6, 1953, to the late Marie Mason.  Reginald, affectionately known as “Reggie”, was educated in Selma, Alabama and graduated from Selma High School in 1971. His class was the first to integrate the school and his classmates referred to him as "Headquarters". He then took on the charge to serve his country and joined the United States Army. 

After his tour of duty, Reggie relocated to Detroit, Michigan for a short period of time. He later moved to Petersburg, Virginia in 1982 to relocate near his uncle, Idof Glover, who was more like a father to him.  Petersburg became Reggie’s new and permanent home.  His first job was with Cox Cable Company. He then went on to work for the Petersburg Sheriff’s Department. Thereafter, Reggie began working at Central State Hospital in 2004 and found not only a job but a family. One of those close family members was Ms. Tequlisha Clarke.   

Reggie was an active member of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, where he served on the Male Usher Board and was a part of the Iron Men’s Club Ministry. 

Reggie leaves behind the following loving and dedicated family members to include: an uncle and aunt, Idof and Sheila Glover of Petersburg, Virginia, uncle, Willie Alexander (Irmogene) of Atlanta, Georgia and Davis of Tacoma, Washington; his cousins, Robert and Debra Crosby of Yulee, Florida, Warren and Gena Albert of Athens, Georgia, Kristi Davis of Tacoma, Washington, Michael and Lena Alexander of Oakland, California, Michelle Alexander of Atlanta, Georgia, Rhonda Simpson of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Romaine May of Hopewell, Virginia and a host of other cousins throughout the United States.

The family would also like to thank Ms. Jackie White, Ms. Sonya Wilson and Ms. Janice Johnson for their help and dedication before Reggie’s transition from his Earthly Home. Special thanks is also extended to Encompass Health Hospice and Home Helpers. May God bless you all.
