I've just learned of Reginald's passing and I am so saddened. He shared many special times with my late husband and his line brother, Kevin. I remember Reg as larger than life, with a ready smile and a way of making all around him feel comfortable. Our prayers are with the family.

To be absent from the body,is to be present with The Lord.
2Cor 5:8

Reginald Alex was like a little brother to me. I remember teching him the base drum and walking to school for parades. Years later, we walk together again in parades because his daughter was in the XUP marching units.

We will certainly miss his presence. Family, I will continue to lift you in prayer to a Merciful and Loving God.

My prayers are with you.

When I received the news of my cousin's untimely death, I believe my heart skip a beat. A love one's passing is never easy, but I believe it stings a little more when they are young and full of life and energy. We are not promised tomorrow. Reach out and tell your family, friends, etc. how much you love them. Don't wait!!!! I love my cousin, I will miss him dearly. To the Alex family, allow the love of our family lift you in this time of grief.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands are at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, he only takes the best. Your big smile and fun loving personality will be missed cousin.

What a Man, What a Man....!!!! Reginald had a smile that would brighten any room and change the atmosphere of a party. My daughter was very grateful to have such a wonderful person as her uncle. My daughter and I will deeply miss your kind words, giving spirit, challenging conversations, and expertise at playing cards. You welcomed me into your family with open arms, and now God is opening the gates of heaven with open arms for you. Do your favorite dance, play cards, teach Math skills, show the young men how to tie bow ties, play chess, and have fun on the other side.

Much love for "The Reginald Alex/ Uncle Reginald.
