Published 10:57 am Thursday, October 29, 2015

On Oct. 21, 2015, our beloved son, grandson, big brother, nephew, cousin and friend was called to his permanent home. There, waiting to greet Reggie, are his great-grandparents, great-aunts, uncles, and other relatives.

Reginald, Reggie, “Lil Reggie,” “Poopie,” “Reg,” “Junior,” “Baby Boy,” was born on June 23, 1994, in Vicksburg. He confessed to Christ at an early age and was baptized at Jackson Street Missionary Baptist Church on July 4, 2004.

Reggie began drawing at an early age and was a self-taught artist. He completed his GED in 2012 and finished at the top of his class. He attended Hinds Community College in Vicksburg and Utica.

Early in his life, Reggie started working with his paternal grandfather and father providing lawn services and other projects.  He was very skilled with his hands and could assemble most anything.  Reggie was often with his grandfather working in and around the church. Not only was Reggie intelligent, but he was very articulate and an avid reader.

Reggie was a caring individual who would give you his last if you asked. He was very grateful for whatever was given to him or done for him no matter how small or large.

Survivors include his mother, Kenisha Clark of Greenville; father, Reginald D. Davis of Vicksburg; two sisters, Tyla Vega of Vicksburg and Keyuna Seals of Jackson; a brother, Ryan Campbell Davis of Vicksburg; paternal grandparents, Fred D. and Mary Davis of Vicksburg; maternal grandparents, Susan McFarland of Kansas City, Missouri, and Roy James of Vicksburg; an aunt/big sister, Sabrina (Richard) Griffith of Houston, Texas; and an uncle, Marcus McFarland of San Bernardino, California.

Special family members include Skyla Campbell, Kalen Redden, Riley Greene, and Demetric Brooks of Vicksburg; and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins including the Davis, Cameron, Hall, McFarland, Smith, Taylor, Campbell, Mims, Gill and Erves families.

A celebration of his life will be 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015, at Jackson Street Missionary Baptist Church with the Rev. Trollars Moore officiating. Burial will follow at Cedar Hill Cemetery under the direction of Lakeview Memorial Funeral Home.

Visitation will be Friday from 1 to 7 p.m. at the funeral home with the family present from 5 to 7 p.m.
