Reginald Fielding Obituary

Covington native Reginald "Reggie" Joseph Fielding unexpectedly passed at his home on December 21, 2020. Reggie leaves behind the three loves of his life, his wife Amy Orcutt Fielding and daughters Margaret "Macee" Cecelia Fielding and Elinor "Elie" James Fielding. Born Friday, November 19, 1971, Reggie was the beloved son of Edward "Eddie" J. Fielding, III and Rebecca "Becky" Beall Fielding and the brother of Robert "Robby" Edward and Benjamin "Benjie" Beall (Annette). Nephew of Kathy Fielding Panter Smith, Pam Fielding Voelkel (Norman), Terri Fielding Murphy (Donald), Patti Fielding Nicaud (Guido), and Donald Beall. He is the son-in-law of Allen and Jean Orcutt and loving uncle of Emily, Caroline and Brooke Fielding. Reggie was a person with many interests, natural gifts, and eclectic talents. Woodworking and sculpting metal became a favorite pastime along with creating hand-carved wooden spoons, which are proudly displayed at his home. Always up for a challenge, Reggie took Amy's Pinterest visions to a whole new level building intricate decorations and crafts especially for the apples of his eye, Macee and Elie. Reggie loved nature and embraced the culture and beauty of South Louisiana. He could be found exploring, fishing, riding horses, gardening, building or creating art, and reminiscing over the treasures he held dear. Reggie had a wonderful sense of humor, loved telling a long-winded Boudreaux joke, and would often be sporting a driving cap by day and a headlamp by night. For over 20 years, Reggie shared his genuine compassion and love for others through serving families during their darkest times as a funeral director, often going above and beyond to help ease their grief and pain. He served others with kindness and without judgment. Reggie's heart was as big as his smile, and he gave both away easily to those he knew even briefly, but especially to those he loved. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Relatives and friends are invited to attend graveside services at Pinecrest Memorial Gardens Mausoleum, 2280 W 21st Ave, Covington, LA 70433 on Tuesday, December 29, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. with visitation from 1:00 until service time. Interment will follow the services. Parking for the funeral will be available at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home. With COVID-19 restrictions, social distancing and face masks are required to attend services. The Fielding family invites you to share thoughts, fond memories, and condolences online at E. J. Fielding Funeral Home Guest Book at www.ejfieldingfh.com.

Reggie was and is our angel. He was literally our saving Grace when we buried our 13 year old son, Spencer, after a horrendous battle with cancer. Reggie brought us such comfort during our darkest days all the while he was the most humble with his actions. There is no doubt many, including our Spencer, were there at the gates of Heaven to greet him.
Our prayers and broken hearts are with you, Reggie’s loving family.

It was very obvious that Reggie was a wonderful father. I first met Reggie when he was picking Elie up from a birthday party to which both of our daughters were invited. He had a sparkle in his eyes when he found Elie in the crowd of girls. His devotion to his daughter was written on his face. Reggie frequently showed his love for his family by doing all kinds of things for his girls. He attended Father Daughter Dances, held back yard barbecues, and frequently had to wrangle a house full of girls that were sleeping over. It has been an honer and privilege getting to know him better. He was funny, gracious, and humble. We are very thankful for the times that Amy and Reggie visited with us. The way in which Reggie was humble and grounded always made me feel at ease. Reggie was easy to get to know. His company will be missed. With much love you are in our prayers.

The time I worked at Fielding Funeral Home, Reggie was always enjoyable to work with. With his compassion and people skills, he always made the days better! I know the families would be sure he'd honor their wishes.
He was such a great person and awesome people skills!
God Bless and keep him close. Sincere sympathy for all the family.
