Reginald was born on December 26, 1964, in Columbia, South Carolina.  He was the son of Martha Mae Oree. He married the love of his life, Marcella Palmer and they shared 27 years of matrimony.

He was educated in the public schools of Richland School District two and graduated from Spring Valley High School.  He was a hard worker and drove a school Bus for Richland School District Two.  His work career also included working at Richtex Bricks and Columbia Housing Authority.  Always the one to be doing something, he worked on cars in his spare time.
