A loving husband and father, Reggie is survived by his wife, Mayra Moore; daughters, Marlena Shantal Moore, (Moore) and son in law Xang Yang of Glen Alpine.

He worked in Guatemala, Central America, as a Peace Corps volunteer, and with various agencies that include: PAVA, Shawcross Aid program, the Widows and Orphans Program of the Presidency of the Republic of Guatemala, and many more.

He continued his passion as a Spanish interpreter, working in various agencies spread across Burke County including Carolina Healthcare System Blue Ridge, Broughton Hospital, the Burke County Sheriff's Office, highway patrol, and many others.

He spread his love for God by carving handmade wooden crosses and giving them to those that needed it the most. He was a proud South Carolina Gamecock, loved animals, and enjoyed spending his free time at home with his family.
