Regie will always be remembered as a wonderful, loving and caring person. He was like a father to me and was always there if I needed guidence and support. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. He Always was cracking jokes and he had a smile that will always be remembered. He has made a lasting impression on my life and I know he touched everyone that he came in contact with. My four year old son Dakota called him PaPa Regie and would tell me "mama papa Regie is one cool guy" and that he is and always will be! :) WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS

MAY GOD BLESS YOU
