Raegen you will be greatly missed by all your friends and Family.
We were so shocked to hear of your passing, after the fact and never had a chance to say goodbye Reagan. You had such an innate ability to make people laugh and infuriate them, usually at the same time. You were taken too soon, from so many who loved you. You’re with your brother Rob now and we’re the worse for it. Rest in Peace “Uncle Reagan”. Our sincerest condolences to your family who have lost a son and brother and our hearts mourn with the rest of his friends who like us, now face life without him in it.
