Reginal Lafise, son to James Robert Odom and Betty Lorain Putman Odom, entered this life on Saturday, May 4, 1968 in Pascagoula, Mississippi. His daughter, Olivia Odom and father, James Robert Odom preceded him in death.
He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior at an early age and attended First Missionary Baptist Church.

He attended Kentucky Wesleyan College, where he excelled in basketball, assisting the team in winning two NCAA Basketball Championships. One in 1987 and in 1990 while serving as Team Captain. He graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree. After college, enjoyed working with Bowl for Life and was Youth Care Specialist of the Year. He enjoyed employment with the Budweiser and LG Company.
Reggie’s greatest pride was his children. He showed unwavering love and strength, especially while tenderly caring for his daughter, Oliva, who bravely her battled multiple cancers. His selflessness, devotion, and quiet strength will be remembered by those who knew his heart.
Affectionately known as “Reggie”, he loved spending time relaxing with his family and friends. He enjoyed Kentucky Sports, basketball, fishing, and watching the Dallas Cowboys. All who knew and loved him will sorely miss his presence.
