Reggie worked many years at BIA Facility Management and Wapato Irrigation. He was a hard worker and he looked forward to going in to work every day.

One of his favorite places to travel to was the Annual Round-Up in Pendleton, Oregon. There he set up his tee-pee and camped out for the entire round-up, which was passion. Reginald was a huge Seattle Seahawks fan and enjoyed watching the games on Sundays. A big moment for him was attending a Seattle Seahawks game with the late David Dogsleep.
