Send FlowersNEWPORT – William Reagan, 75, of Newport, RI, passed away at home with his family on Wednesday, May 27, 2015. He was the beloved husband of Shirley Coleman Reagan. Born in Newport, he was the son of the late LeRoy and Hope (Simmons) Reagan.
He was the loving father of Shannon Reagan of Middletown and the proud grandfather of William and Matthew Silva of Middletown. He also leaves his sister Donna Pacheco of Middletown, stepson Justin Coleman and his wife Sarah and daughter Fia of Charleston, SC, and many nieces and nephews.
He was the brother of the late LeRoy Reagan, Jr. of Newport and the late Barry Reagan of Middletown.
He was the most loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, and uncle anyone could hope to have, and a great friend.
He graduated in 1959 from Rogers High School, where he played on the baseball, football, and basketball teams. He started Reagan Construction Corp. in 1970 and enjoyed working as a marine and heavy construction contractor for the past 45 years.
He loved spending time with family and friends, and he had a great sense of humor. He was a lifelong member of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth.
At his request, there are no calling hours or service.
In lieu of flowers or donations, please consider doing something nice for someone in honor of Billy's kind and generous nature.

My family and I are so...
